Got a roll of Walkers for $240 and an 1868 G-4 shield nickel for $5. Oh and a cool little thing of war nickels for $20. I know, I know...i'm poor :( but they still give me great attention when they know i'm only spending $300 or so every time i come in.

I was surprised by how much gold and silver they had. I thought people were buying this stuff up!

Almost pulled the trigger on a set of low graded 32-D and 32-S quarters. Maybe next time.

    Great agglomeration of silver! Will you post an obverse image of the 1868 Shield Nickel? There are many varieties out there.

    The nickel is in horrible shape. But couldn't complain for $5. This is the best i can do with my phone camera.

    I would go for the 32D/S Quarters then you can build your own album of WQ from the junk silver bins.

    "Only" $300 every time? Must be a fancy shop!

    Seems like people are dropping thousands everytime I go in.

    I usually cherry pick 5 coins or so for album fillers, buy 90%, and/or buy rounds once in a while. Maybe a gram of gold

    Yea these were slabbed g4 D and vg8 s. I think it was $79 for the S and maybe 100 for the d.
