CPChicago Valued Member United States 185 Posts	Posted 10/07/2007 4:53 pm I went out to the Kane County flea market again this weekend and found some nice coins. Right when I got there I found a table with 10-15 Buffalo nickels and walked away with three of them: 1929 - $2, F12 - VF20 1936-D - $1, F12 1937-D - $2, VF20 - EF40 Found another Buffalo later on: 1934 - $2.25, VG8 Also picked up a 1953-S Jefferson for $.30 that I needed. Finally, came across a table with little boxes of coins all over the place (mostly foreign). After some rummaging I walked away with a 1943 Australain Penny (I liked the kangaroo), a 1938 ~~Australian~~ Penny from England (I liked the seated figure and his trident, plus there's a shield and lighthouse), and a 1911 Liberty nickel (G4 at best, the reverse looks nice) all for $2. I'd say overall, I did pretty well. I think the '34 was a little high, but the others made up for it. I also saw a bag of 5 - 8 Buffalo's that had been 'domed' and made into buttons or pins ...

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 10/08/2007 08:03 am Nice. I didn't realize Kane County Fair Grounds had coins. For me just to far to go except for the gun shows. If I remember they charge for parking and entrance fees. One more reason I stay away. Lemont, Countryside and Itasca coin shows much closer. Also, Swaporama flea markets.

CPChicago Valued Member United States 185 Posts	Posted 10/14/2007 12:47 pm I made an ebay purchase as well. My first coin purchase I believe. I only need two of these but for the price and low shipping, I felt it was a deal. I now only need four more Roosevelts and my 1946 - present collection will be complete! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...200156942333 Report this Post to the Staff
