just carl Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 At a local flea market a basically coin dealer sells lots of basically junk coins for a cheap price. Mercury Dimes go for $1 each but if you buy in bulk, a little cheaper. Usually the older ones are all P mints and well worn, later dates are in decent shape but almost always P mints. I usually buy 20 or 30 from him and get them for about $0.90 each or even cheaper if he is in a good mood. Looking through a few 1942D's lately from him I found 2 of the 42D/41's. Not the best but then those are always difficult to see. Not a bad purchase for about $0.90 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Oh and the Antique centers where they have lots of dealers selling usually overpriced coins. But about three weeks ago I found a load of 1964 Halves going at $2 eaches. Melt on them is in the $4.50 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreasureGirl Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Rawr, only person selling coins in East Jesus is the dealer. Have to go back to St. Charles/Louis if I want to find anything good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
