I am going to some antique stores that I have visted before, was curious what coins to look for that I could buy and resell for some good money. Any suggestions would be nice. Thanks in advance!

Too Coin Community. Usually many stores know their merchandise, and sell accordingly. You would have to be well versed in what to look for, with rarities, errors etc. There are loads of coins with monetary value, so it's a difficult one to answer.

If you can get Morgan/peace dollars they seem to sell well, but again the year, the mint, the condition are all factors. So it's a bit to difficult to say.

Look through numismedia.com at the price guides for varieties that some people may not know about.

Other than that anything can be bought and resold for a profit, it all just depends on how much you paid for it

most people know what they have so I honestly wouldn't expect to make a quick buck unless you can find some rarity/error/variety they've overlooked, or didn't know about. But a lot of people know what they have.

It's not super easy to make money off of coins, unless you know what to look for. Buy the book before the coin. A lot of people think they'll collect for a while, and retire off of it... It's not impossible but surly not easy to do. If it were everyone would do it. If you've never heard this saying before then I guess nows as good a time as any, lol.

Most antique stores in my area aren't very good for coins. Most of the times the coins in them are low quality and vastly overpriced.
