Hi cool
Look for the next coin in whatever series your working on !!
If you dont find it dont just buy something for the sake of buying,, wait and be patient and add dollars to your coin money.
Good luck !!

I would suggest that you have an idea of what you want/need to further your collection. With that in mind, take your time and above everything else....have fun!

Never could understand how and why they became FLEA markets as I have never seen one flea for sale? In England, if memory serves me correctly, they have "BOOT sales which are advertised, for the most part, by word of mouth and they move from location to location and sell out of the trunk (boot) of their cars? Guess the British government is far more concerned about the British making a few bucks on the side so the boot sales are moved frequently?

coolg35748, good luck and happy hunting. I say buy anything new to your collection that catches your eye. If your looking for more of an investment, maybe a 2005 U.S. Marine Commemorative

I guess my little town isn't big enough to have flea markets. I sometimes check for coins at yard sales, but have yet to ever see any.

Flea markets typically have stuff for sale or problem coins. Be very careful.

We have "car boot sales" here as well. People back their car up into the market-place and put all the items onto their trestle tables from out of their car boot. Except they are usually advertised by posters or in the local newspaper over here. We also have the great "Sunday-Market" tradition, lots of trash, a little treasure, and everyone has a fun Sunday morning! Enjoy your flea-market coolg35748 - hope you have lots of fun!  |

Happy hunting coolg. What to buy really depends on which sets you want to undertake. Make sure you know what you're doing, though, or else you could end up with some problem coins only worth melt.

Don't give up so easily. You never know what might find at a flea market or anywhere else for that matter!! Edited by thingee
