An example of why I love my lcs

@Ppp said:

I usually go to my local coin stores (I am lucky to have a few) once a week to see what new inventory they have and yesterday the owner (he knows I like blast white straight grade Morgan’s) shows me this one. Ouch.

This would be an upgrade for me so how could I say no? I mean I could’ve, but in reality (and the owner knows this), how could I say no? 🙂

Does anybody have examples of recent nice buys at there lcs?

I share your pain and position. Nice coin.

I noticed an ancient roman bronze for a very low price. I had looked at a few online and this one was 45% of the price the online had, so I picked up the below.

I like the coin, although it's a common type (GLORIA EXERCITVS reverse), so having a price comparison is helpful.

Normally I use ebay Sold Items when comparing prices, rather than "asking" prices, as those may never sell at the asking price.

For example, I could possibly buy 2 from the hoard for $75 each, list one for $300 Buy it Now, and list the other one at $150 Buy it Now. The $150 one might look like a bargain if you are comparing to the $300 that might never sell for $300.
Apologies if you know all this and I misunderstood your price comparison.

I understand, I always use eBay sold, this was much much lower than eBay sold. I compared the price to a large online retailer that I usually buy from as there prices are lower on average than eBay sold.
