As mentioned earlier, I visited a New Hampshire flea market on Saturday and found a guy selling silver dollars, almost all at prices from $30 to $36! I spent all my money and bought 13 - two Morgans and eleven Peace dollars! (Yeah, I said I'd bought 14 when I posted on Saturday, but that was based on my faulty memory.)
I thought at first that the seller didn't know the spot price on silver (over $40), but his whole booth was collectible coins, stamps and knick knacks. He said he'd just bought a coin collection the night before - so I think he was just happy to have a quick cash gain on his investment at a time when many flea market customers are hard pressed to come up with money.
Maybe. Anyway, I took what I could. My wife is still up there. If the guy still has his coins on Saturday, she might be able to buy the others.
BTW, the one exception to the $30-$36 price was for a 1921 Peace Dollar. He said that it was worth $100 since it was First Year for the Peace dollar. Does that make sense to those of you who know coins?
I didn't buy it since I'm not actually a COIN hoarding seditionist... At $100, was it a good deal?
Gold is $1,581/oz today. When it hits $2,000, it will be up 26.5%. Let's see how long that takes. - De 3/11/2013 - ANSWER: 7 Years, 5 Months
