Popular Post J P M Posted October 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2021 We were apple picking today and the orchard just happens to be up the road from the coin shop. I saw this coin last time I was in the store it was a already a good deal at $85 but I heckled it down to $75 because the case had some scratches on it.

I'm jealous.....coin shops seem to be dying out in my neck of the woods......damned COVID! Yes I agree looking for coin shops now days is tough. He does a lot of estate buying, selling and appraisals it is a great shop mostly selling NGC, PCGS + third party graded Morgan's and 2X2 flips graded by him that are all very nice reasonably priced coins. Some gold coins and lots of mint sets, silver and clad. Gold and silver bullion rounds, bars Proof and graded eagles not to many half's, quarters, dime or nickel trays out. but he has stuff all over the place so maybe I just have to ask for them. He also sells collectable war items paper money and star notes. All in all a cool place run by great guy and his wife , My wife and 7 year old granddaughter were with me today and he gave her a 2000 Sacagawea and 2 arrowheads to go with it. I have seen him giving stuff to customers kids lots of times. Kids just glow when he does stuff like that and it is good for future business.

Mohawk Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Indeed it is!! It sounds like you've found a good shop....if I were in Massachusetts, I'd be asking you if they had any ancients for sale. We used to do stuff like that for kids at the shop I worked at as well....we'd give them any gold plated State Quarters that came in, along with Kennedy Halves, Sac Dollars and even low grade Indian Cents, Liberty Nickels and Buffalo Nickels. It was amazing to see their eyes light up....you can't beat that experience. The kids are honestly one of the things I miss the most about that job....they were great!

There's a store near my office that has a small display of ancients but all their stuff is graded so I don't think you'd be game.

It always seems to happen like that dont it. I mean of course you had no hidden agenda when going to the orchard and it just made sense, seeing as you were so close, to just swing by and look at the ridiculously low priced MS 64 Morgan. Very nice find and im not the first bit jealous at all. On 10/9/2021 at 7:15 PM, J P Mashoke said: I have seen him giving stuff to customers kids lots of times.

Looks like he is in his business with the right approach and mindset to start developing new collectors to this great hobby! Kudos to him. Sounds like a great dealer you have here. Very nice pickup too!! J P M and Mohawk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had just not told the wife but she is a smart coin shopper and knows I try to only by stuff for 30 to 50% less than retail. I just look for sharp looking coins at the MS63,4 and 5 range. That is why most of my coin collections are not key dates. The Keys are always a higher price no mater what they look like. and ya never know maybe one of my coins will be a Key date... some day ....LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
