Why I go to coin shops

[TheJaker]

Hi! This is my first real post. I know many people disappoint when coin shops are mentioned, but I only go to look through a bin of coins they have. The bin has coins as old as 1816! And only 4 coins per dollar. That is my only reason. They do have other bins occupying different things which I do look through every once in a while. Today I went there and got several old coins. I did by a Morgan dollar for 19$ (Unfair price) but just for the fun of it.

$19 for the Morgan was not a bad price. Wha’d else you get?

A 1900 British half penny, a 1878 diez centavos ( which I dropped and had to replace ), a dateless coin, a 1897 British penny, and a 1967 good conditioned British penny

Try coin shows, if you have any in your area. I go there and can usually find some good oldies and foreign ones for relatively cheap... I've had some luck at Flea Markets too. Just try not to get caught up in it though, I bought an "ancient roman" coin that turned out to be 1600's Poland.

Be careful as there are fake looking silver dollars. I once almost got hood winked in Singapore with fake silver dollars (boy did they look real).
