SUPPER EXCITED!!! Traded $1 coin found CRH for one worth $240 and got some SILVER

So several weeks back I found a 1912 v-nickel in a nickel box. it was in G-6 condition and not worth much. Well I went to my LCS today to see if I could trade it for an 1800's v-nickel that I did not have in my collection yet. I went in and he handed me a jar with about 30 nickels in it and said switch it out with which ever you would like. Obviously I look for the elusive 1885 and 1886 nickels along with the 1912-S. Low and behold sitting in that jar was a 1912-S. The S was slightly smugged and filled in, so I'm sure he thought that it was a D. Well I picked it out and traded my 1$ v-nickel for the VG 1912-S, worth $240 (red book value). With only 238,000 minted it is indeed an amazing find.



Following this trade I had 7 1964 dimes I was looking to trade out for missing dates to fill my book. I finally found the 1955-P and got a 1937 merc, along with 5 other rossies for my collection.

And to top it all off I found these two beauties. A 1876 Carson City Dime for only $11 (worth $35 in red book), and an amazing 1835 bust half dime for only $20 (worth $110 in red book).




Overall it was an amazing day. Also found 2 silver rossies this morning at the bank Gotta keep building up that silver. Hope yall enjoyed the story and good luck to all those cherry pickers out there

How is that coin shop still in business?

That definitely is a 1912-S, the "s" being badly worn down, but you can still see the beginning and ending tails of the S. Good swap-a-roo, and a good eye.

We don't know that it was great, just that he was excited about it.
