Antique Stores Worth The Time?

I've not found anything worthwhile in Antique shops, but I'll still go in w/ my wife and hunt for the coins. Kind of like searching thru rolls - sometimes you win, sometimes not. Keep trying - you never know what might show up.

One good thing with general antiques sellers is they often have such a broad knowledge that they neglect areas that tend to need a much more specialist knowledge - coins being one of them. That said I hardly managed to pick up any coins on the few trips to antique centres and flea markets in the US, but over here in the UK and over France and Germany you can fairly regularly get some great material

Tim Stroud, I assume you meant Morgan.

Last week I found,in an antique shop,a 1907 indian head in ms60 for 3 dollars! Yes worth your time you just need to have a keen eye and a little time to look.

All of the above comments are good. I do however, have a passing interest in antiques. I go to have a browse occasionally in antiques stores, but the numismatic pickings are usually very poor to non existent.

Australian antique silver of the 19th century is hugely expensive, up there with Paul Revere silver in value, and many multiples more in value than British silver of the same period. Oz has some magnificent Red Cedar furniture, and brings huge prices. Rarely found outside Australia, though.
