Made this score today at my favorite pawn shop in town. Had to pay $40 to get them all though.  36 Walker  52 Franklin  60D Franklin  49 Franklin  51 D Franklin The mint mark does not show up well in the photo for some reason(because it was just dirt that is why) and the coin looks a lot better in hand. It looks washed out in the pic, but trust me it still has some luster.  1919 Canada 5 cent  A battle scared 44P Jefferson  41 Merc  1958 Canada 1 cent  Well worn 1908 Indian Head with some glue on the reverse  Well worn 1864 Indian, But which one is it?  And this unknown token, which is posted in another thread for help with identification.  All in all not a bad day. The owner told me to check back with him as often as possible during the holidays because he will probably get a lot more in over the next few weeks and that he would rather sell it to me than get stiffed by the refiners.

Tim, how do you do it? The guys in our local pawn shops think you're trying to pull the silver out of their fillings if you try to buy coins from them. You must be dazzling them with brilliance or baffling em with bullroar. I gotta work on my people skills!

It is only at this shop. I just pull the stuff out of the can that I want and ask how much. I just cannot find it in me to try and talk him down even more. He was charging me $5 each for the halves but he told me that he was gonna have to ask more because silver was so high. Who am I to argue? I can only imagine how little he pays for this stuff. All he has left right now is a can full of no date Buffs, common Jefferson's and a few Wheaties. He puts the really good coins on ebay, Morgans, Peace and any gold he gets in. Edited by Tim Stroud

I have no idea as to what the copper or the 1919 5 cent is worth, but I fell like the 64 Indian is at least around $6 easy. But it is the token that has me puzzled, I would love some help with that.

A civil war token, a nice one at that and I bet worth $10.00 by itself.

The 1919 Canadian 5 cent looks to be around a VG-10 and worth $3.00
The 1958 Canadian 1 cent is worth 1 cent (They sell for $5.00 in MS-60).

Thanks for the input on the Canadian stuff Canadian-Banknotes. I love the older Canadian coinage and seem to find an occasional stray for next to nothing. Other than U.S. coinage is widely ignored in my area, even if it is silver. And thanks to you to Wheezydog. You info as well as what I have received in the Exonumia forum helped me find one and only one of this type on the bay. I found that it is possibly a Fuld #52/342 what ever that is....LOL. I am guessing it is the equivalent of a KM#. Update! The 1951 Franklin has no mint mark. After putting on my glasses and getting out the loupe, I found it to be just a little dirt  Guess that would explain why it didn't come out good in the pic now wouldn't it. The 1864 IHC is the "NO L" variety. Edited by Tim Stroud

A very good haul. I went to a local pawn show today looking for junk silver and he was asking 25% over melt.  |

THAT IS AWSOME!
They must still be using prices from the '70s or something.
I tried to work for a pawnshop last year and was not hired after I aced their training. They thought I was too honest for them.

Nice Civil War Token! I was just browsing through those on some online auction site a few days ago. I believe they were minted privately to compensate for a scarcity of pennies during the war. Very cool find.
