Went with a friend...

[Beachkid23]

He got a call back on a coin collection. From somebody that we met at a yard sale couple weeks ago. I went with the intentions of just Kinda watching him to see what he was going to buy and I had no intentions of really buying anything at all. But after he picked out what he wanted and decided he was done the guy asked me if I wanted to buy anything so here's what happened. I spent $25 on buffalo nickels. None of which I've looked through yet. There's probably six rolls worth?



These coins I paid $8 dollars a piece for. birth of a nation set there are 13 coins total. .999 silver. Unsure of the weight as of yet I just got home, feel like i need a nap.




And 4 Nice unc $2 bills for $20. Probably over paid. Spent $160 total.

I think those birth of a nation coins are 20 grams each. I have one somewhere. The paperwork should state the weight. They did make these in plated clad too I believe, so double check yours. At $8 each you did okay. $20 was a little too much for the $2 bills, but you've already stated as much. Search those Buffalo's and let us know if you find any crippled ones. You know... 3 legged.

BTW- You're too young for naps.

Crap. They are all silver plated. Eh not good. I'll make up for it soon though. This $2 bill serial number is interesting though.

Thats a nice haul. I don't know if its a killer deal for 160.00 but it might be worth double that.

Ouch! That hurts! Maybe you'll luck up on the Buffalo's. What are they looking like, condition wise?

They are looking like I should have staid home. Alot of dates and mints but all 30-37 mostly. A dang rookie mistake!
