Redeeming news for coin shops, because like any retail shop:
(1) being in business... most shops have to sell something every day... quite a bit of something... or soon be out of business.

That is a great coin shop and definitely better than a video game.
(as long as you have another one kicking around)

I would have done the same thing, but my daughter would have thought I was out of my cotton picking mind! I wonder what an xbox will be worth in 5 years' time?

Thanks guys! He had a lot of unc tubes by year which made it fun for hours looking through to get the best coin. Which I may add that about all I found looked to have fbl's. I'm hoping that these sets will peak in interest in years to come as well.

Wow. Maybe I should have bought my daughter an xbox. She would of used it for a couple of weeks, then I could sell it. Now I have to look around the house and see what I can get rid of.
I hear a lot that coins are not a great investment but if you look at the junk you buy around your house, just ask yourself how bad of an investment are coins? I think I will keep buying coins. Nice coins by the way.

Nice deal, I got a similar deal yesterday, but my xbox is still right next to the TV in my house. 1858 LG Letters Flying Eagle cent - F -$20 1883 No "Cents" V-Nickel - F - $7 Despite some verdigris damage on the FE I think I got a great deal! |

I'm not sure I could convince the kids to part with any of the game systems....PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360 and a Wii.
