Not bad at all. Melt on silver dimes is almost $3 each right now and indian heads tend to go for a buck a piece or so usually.

Good Deal I think, Silver in the 4 dimes is worth $11 and they look pretty nice :) The penny is worth one or two dollars also, I cant see it too well but I think its looks OK :)

Even without the Indian Head cent you made at least a buck profit the same day you purchased them just in melt.

I am sure if grade them pop them in to 2X2's you could sell them on ebay and double your money.

Beats going to a Casino!

if you are talking profit you should factor in the gas it cost you to go to the flee market...Yikes
but other than that you got a pretty good deal! congrats

Great find, under melt value is always a no brainer to me.

Go back to that flea market and see if that seller has more for that price. You really did good on those coins.

Heck yeah! I would not worry to much about the gas unless your sole purpose was to pick up some coins.

Make a few more deals like that and you are good to go!

I still say get back there and see what else he has. The reason I say that is I know of a seller at flea markets that started selling coins way to cheap. He eventually learned the prices and no longer sells cheap. Flea marets are usually a spur of the moment great deal item purchses. Here today and never seen again.
