The fun part of where I live, Is the fact that I can go to a flea market every day of the week, and sometimes up to 10+ on a Sunday. Today, I was at another flea market (big surprise) I stopped to chat with a dealer. He had quite a few proof sets and several binders full of nickels, and pennies. I start flipping through the binders, and he says...you can have those at face value...ok... so 4 binders, 20+ pages, 2 coffee cans, 3 coin boxes, 2 cardboard flats, 7 proof sets, 10 folders, 10 rolls of coins, 4 ziploc bags, and 135.00 later, I'm walking to the car with a box full of coinage. As I sort it and document it, I'll keep it all posted. Since pictures are a must, here you go.         |

Wow Mike that's unbelievable. You got all those at face including proofs and silver proofs. Are there some BU coins in the albums and mylars? The Kennedys look BU.  |

At a glance while looking through and counting everything up. I did see several single proof coins, and a few errors, 1938 nickels, couple bank rolls of 1970 pennies.
Quite a few of them were BU status.
I'm stoked about searching it out.
At face value, you can't go wrong (ok, the wheaties were .03 each)

The airtites are mixed BU State Quarters (great fillers for my daughters book). the capital holder is a mis of didderebt years, the penny is a BU 70D There has to be 20+ loose proof nickels and pennies. Also grabbed a .02 piece in the lot...that one will be up for sale or trade soon. I'm seeing quite a few empty spaces getting filled or upgraded |
