Decent Haul of David Hall Flips!

Found these at an antique store in WI. I have not seen many of these for sale then suddenly 8 of them at one place.

    Very impressive. Were you looking for coins at the antique shop? You just never know where something really cool will show up. I like them!

    I always keep an eye out for coins but really I was just browsing to kill some time. Usually coins at an antique store are a bit overpriced but these were fair for what they are. The 53 has some nice cameo contrast as a bonus.

    It's always interesting to me to see just how many run of the mill proof coins were graded by Mr. Hall back then. Mercury Buffalo's and Morgans are about all else you see. Where are all the type coins? Long ago cut out I suppose...
    Still a very cool find. I haven't seen one in the wild for 10 years.

    Nice haul.

    But whether or not it was a score depends on the price. 🤔

    The lot was about $300. Based on recent sales that seemed pretty fair.

    Wow.. Great find at an antique store. We have a couple here, and yes, the coins are normally severely overpriced. Selling silver plain, common Morgans for the same price as bullion gold...
    Rarely any bargains at those shops. Cheers, RickO

    I never limit my searches when I am out and about.
    I have never had any real luck like those posted above but I don't get discouraged.
    Someday I will score big (I hope, lol). ;)

    Awesome haul of Halls!

    Did you check the '52 for the Superbird variety and the '53 for the re-engraved tailfeathers?

    I did, no luck there but they are both way nicer than the 65 grade listed on the flips. I'll try to get some pictures but it might be tough through two layers of plastic.

    Still a very cool find. I haven't seen one in the wild for 10 years.

    David hall investment group put out a “insider news letter” paper that promoted coins as underrated or underpriced, or the next hot coin.
    He would have some of these coins ready to be sold in his flips. The reason so many of the coins are what you see is that those flips is that they we’re available in quantity'

    Can’t sell very many half Dismes or 1804 dollars.

    I have a Few of his promotions myself. The coins are nice and staye nice in his flip

    Don't ever limit yourself. Coins are always in the back of my mind, no matter where I go. Antique shops, Pawn shops, Thrift shops, Concession shops, Yard sales, etc.. Don't ever be afraid to ask. You never know what you might walk out with!

    parking lots?
