wmd New Member Canada 41 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 8:47 pm Just wanted to share some pictures of some coin I scored today. I fished the Large Penny out of my moms change jar. I purchased a roll of 1968 silver quarters, and 2 50 cent coins off a friend. And I got $50 in nickels from the bank today and got 136 pure nickel nickels, and this nice 1927 one! Very nice condition! Report this Post to the Staff

wmd New Member Canada 41 Posts	Posted 04/23/2011 11:20 pm I thought it was pretty cool willy! It was only my second roll hunt, and my first only turned up 20 nickel ones. I have 10 rolls in total. I'm lucky to be employed at a bingo hall, our transactions consist of thousands of sales under $5 every day so, as you can imagine, we get all kinds of change coming through. I'm just a little ticked that, after 5 years working there, I just discovered this whole world of coin hunting. Imagine the things that have slipped through my hands, without the slightest thought of looking through it first! I honeslty lose sleep thinking about these days hahaha. Report this Post to the Staff
glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 04/24/2011 07:31 am I had a Sweet Score several weeks ago on E-bay! A seller (well known and a Professional Numismatist) had an I.C.C.S., 1947, MS-65 quarter for sale on a BUY IT NOW auction. Seller obviously made a fatal error on the price and listed it at $125.00 Can$. I had been hunting for this coin to finish off my King George quarter collection in MS-65 and this was the last one I needed in that grade. Knowing the trend price was $1,200.00 I knew that it had to be a typo on the seller's part and I had no guilt feelings whatsoever. Without hesitation I activated the buy it now icon and the coin was mine. I made payment and within a week I was holding this Gem in my hand! talk about a sweet score!
