Nothing special, no monsters, no keys, no lookers, no wowzers. Went into the shop 20 minutes before closing and expressed interest
in the silver dollars in the display case, all the 90% he had at the time. Looked them over and the owner said, "$100 and there yours".
Sold! I then asked what he wanted for the CC copper commem, he gave it to me, I like free
The dollars came in Mint issue commem capsules, little added bonus, the Mint produces the best capsules.
All of them weighed 26.7 grams, the 80O was 26.6 close enough.
Guess I'll make it a habit to swing by there near closing.

OR another way is
"You purchased these for 10% of spot price."
Just saying it is a confusing title.
All that aside, nice pickups!
Melt value for a 90% silver dollar with silver @ $34.49 is $26.66.
So technically they were $1.66 under melt value.
EDIT: Reworded the title.
Edit:
OP changed title to make sense.
You totally lost me, 100/4 = 25
EDIT: I see, you thought I bought them for 90% under melt.
On the other hand I could be wrong in that case.....nevermind.
It was a bit confusing, everyone comprehends differently.
Original title was "Pawn shop 90% under melt"
My brain interpreted it as, 90% silver coinage at a pawn shop for under melt value.
That's what makes us so individual, sure would be boring if we all interpreted things the same way

I was hoping to read...
A few minutes after I left a guy comes in from the back of the shop and says to the fellow behind the counter "thanks for covering for me, Ray. I really had to go bad. Now, which State quarters did you want to buy today?"
Lance.
I thought the 1900-o and 1902-o are the counterfeit ones in micro
<< <i>Is the 1880 O one of the years with the privately made micro-O's? >>
Boy is sure is smaller. Might this be from the Olong mint?
...and 1896-o also.

May I ask what method you used to take those photos? Those are great!

My icon IS my coin. It is a gem 1949 FBL Franklin.
It's not what you think, it's not a Nikon or Canon DSLR, with an exotic macro lens, for sure.
The camera was purchased at the same pawnshop the coins posted were, for $100 used.
Camera is a Fuji FinePix S3280 P&S, 14 MP, 24X zoom, loaded with features, adjustable WB/f-stop, A mode, P mode, S mode, etc..
DSLR was in the works but I was laid off 6 days ago, priorities list doesn't include a DSLR.
Tripod was purchased at a yardsale for $5 and the two bulbs were $3 each.
The desk-lamps I already had, I have another gold colored one but it's on my desk, so the black one
with a weight will have to do, sometimes you have to improvise.
Here it is, the $111 dollar poor-mans unemployed setup, don't laugh to hard

Thank you for sharing the details. Gives me ideas (and hope) for my photos.
