yechi7 Pillar of the Community United States 717 Posts	Posted 06/27/2007 01:36 am My local coin store has large bowls of several hundred common date coins of various denominations & varied grades, most VG-VF, to help fill my albums. His prices: Lincoln Wheat Cents: $.10 Indian Head cents: $1 Liberty nickels: $1.35 Buffalo nickels: No date: $.50; Partial - Full Date: $.85 Mercury dimes & Roosevelt Silver Dimes: $1 Washington Silver Quarters: $2.50 Walking Liberty half dollars: $5.25 Morgan & Peace dollars: $12 They seem like fair prices. Opinions? Also, he has a "full set" of Washington Silver Quarters (minus the Keys), 80 coins, he offered to me for $200. They are varied grades, most look VG-VF. I'm very tempted. Opinions?

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/27/2007 08:33 am Nice prices for all. In regards to the quarter set, that is a decent price. It can be a little disappointing to have a full set of something modern and then they all have moderate to heavy circulation. One way you could go about it would be to get an album, buy the $200 set since it is inexpensive, and then upgrade them one at a time with AU-BU coins. Most of the Washingtons(except for some of the 30s) can be had for $20-30 or less in AU-BU. Report this Post to the Staff
Tykimeister Pillar of the Community United States 882 Posts	Posted 06/27/2007 09:15 am If you got 80 quarters, a nearly full set, $200 is pretty much at melt. Which means, it can't get much cheeper than that. But you may be able to purchase some BU quarters still for $2.50, if you do it piece by piece. But then again you will be adding $3 for shipping on ebay and dealers probably wont sell them for $2.50. But yeah can look around. Ty Report this Post to the Staff
