I watched at a flea mkt yesterday as a guy snatched up every 40% half that a seller had on his table. I know the seller usually has decent prices on all of his items overall, but this guy was acting like he just found gold. It was weird.

I would love to know how much he paid per coin.

I'm guessing $2 or $3 each, knowing the seller.

$3 is a nice bargain. $2 is criminal. I would have charged 4 dollars apiece with a volume discount of say around 3.50 to 3.75 per.

I saw him pulling out maybe 4-5 in a bit of a hurry.

Gotta be careful at flea markets. I've seen many fake coins over the last 10 years, usually silver dollars and ASEs.

They looked dirty/tarnished in the 10 secs that I saw them so who knows.

I'm about to go into a pawn shop to see what they have today.

I could sell a bunch at that price.
