I talked to a guy today who I was told had some silver coins he was selling. I asked him about them and he told me that he took them to a local pawn shop yesterday and sold them. I asked him what they were, and he told me that they were Peace, Morgan, and SAE's. He directed me to the Pawn Shop, so I stopped by there to check the coins out. I ended up buying all 15 of the coins that the guy had for $14 each, including tax. He also took my number and told me he would keep an eye out for any more silver coins, and he will call me if he gets any. I am not sure, because I am new to this, but I think I did pretty well. Can you guys tell me if I did ok, or if I made a mistake here?? Thanks in advance. Pardon my horrible picture please. My pic-fu is very weak.

SAE's-1986,1987,1991
Peace-1923,1934,1935
Morgan-1880, 1886, 1900 x2, 1901, 1921 x4

    Eagles for $14 with no shipping is pretty good man.

    Yeah. $14 is cheap. I paid 16.50 last week for the new SE.

    That Binion Dollar is worth at least twice what you paid.

    That is the 1880 Morgan.

    Always nice to see someone get a good deal from a Pawn Shop (rare) they probably gave the seller $5 each knowing how pawn shops rip everyone off !

    Lot of great deals to be had at pawn shops I've heard. My buddy in Philly called me the other day and said he got 13 peace dollars at a local pawn shop for $7 each.
    Its all relative

    I agree, if you were able to get those coins for $14 they probably paid $5-$7 a piece for them. Next time make sure he sells to you so you can pay him $5 a piece.image

    wow a great deal! While you did well, I'm sure the person who sold these to the pawn shop got ripped off badly.
