Good day at the coin shop

I stopped by the local coin shop today. I took with my what I thought was a roll of 40% (it ended up being one short. I can't count). I asked the guy what they were paying on 40%. He said they were paying $2 per half. Then the other guy, who is the one I deal with at least once a week comes in. I ask him if I could trade the 40% for 90%. He ended up letting me trade for equal silver content. I thought it was an amazing deal. I ended up with 38 silver dimes for the 19 halves. He also let me swap out an ugly one ounce round for a credit suisse bar. I got some foreign coins for free as well. I buy a couple of bars a month there so I do spend a good bit of money there but it was still odd that he let me trade it straight up. All in all Id have to say it was a very successful day
