santafeboy Pillar of the Community United States 593 Posts	Posted 07/08/2013 12:10 am I went to the local swap meet this afternoon and one guy had a tray of foreign coins in which I found a VF 1917 Canada large cent. Expressing interest I asked how much? $20!! he came back, I expected him to say $1 at most and told him it was not worth more than that. This same guy had a load of circulated 1957 US $1 Silver Certificates and wanted $40 each for them. Report this Post to the Staff
