just carl Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I almost didn't bother going to a flea market today due to the massive storms we just had here in the Chicago area. Streets flooded, trees down, traffic lights out, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people without power. At one RR crossing the gates were half down and cop was directing traffic. I asked it the gates half down ment half a train was coming. Helped maked him a little happier. Now back to the flea market. I went anyway and was amazed that it was more crowded than usual. Same person selling coins that I usually buy from. Today this is what I purchased from him Most Mercury Dimes. 16S (possibly micro S) F-12, 18S F-12, 35 EF-40, 38D MS-63 with almost FSB's, 44 AU-50, 41 MS-60 almost no 1 in date, 42S EF-40 with only the top of the 2 in the date. Roosevelts 59 EF-40 & 63D MS-62. Last a 1943 Lincoln Cent MS-60. All this for $10. Someday that guy just has to wake up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Nice catches, carl. How bad were those storms? I've only gotten the Tribune alerts telling me about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
