One of my fellow employees showed up to work yesterday and asked me if I wanted to look at some coins he brought in with him since he knows I am collecting coins now. He had 35 liberty halves in 2 albums that he said he had collected over the years. He asked me if I wanted to buy some and I bought all of them. He only invested face value into them and said he wanted to sell them to someone who would appreciate them. I asked what he wanted for them and he sold them to me for $300 which is the current melt value. I was ecstatic about the coins and the price because I feel like they're were a good deal more then that. I haven't had time to look through them fully yet but will try and get pics up tomorrow when I go through them. He told me that he has a trunk full of coins that he's looking to sell so I might try and buy more from him when I get some more money.

Yeah I was pretty happy he sold them to me. He wanted $10 a coin which I thought was pretty fair but then he said how about $300 for all of them and I was like "SOLD!"

Liberty? Seated liberties for melt? Or Barbers?
Either way, not a bad deal assuming we aren't talking about slick Barbers.

Not bad. Melt is $8.50 and many of those sell for more then melt even in lower grades. Good dates and mint marks as well. There are 5-6 that I need to finish my circulated walker set.

AVShater22,
You may want to pull the 1919D out. In F12 that is a $132 coin. Even in VG it is worth almost $40. I just picked up a pretty good one and paid that.

Check the '46 for the DDR and DDO. Same with the '42. Nice bunch of coins for melt. Now post some pics! |
