  Nice finds, my favorite bust half i got at a flea market for $60, now it's in a PCGS XF-45 holder.

  Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!

  Nice finds... I assume the price was very reasonable as well. Sometimes these flea markets produce interesting results. Cheers, RickO

  Nice pick-ups.
  
  Don't recognize the 1st or last one. The last one was on eBay awhile back as an "Unlisted" SC$.
  
  #2/3 is HK-154 & HK-155, #4 is either an HK 222 or 222a.
  
  Nice page for more info:

  I'm sure tmot99 will be by before long to fill you in

  Well done. Flea markets can be fun if you're careful about what you buy. Nice way to spend part of your day.

  Nice finds.I went to the closest flea market to me on Saturday,they called it an 'antique mall' but it was basically
  
  a glorified flea market. OH NO. they closed it down.I had picked up a few deals there in the past.
  
  Time to find the new cheese,I guess.

  Strikeoutxxx, thanks for the link. I'm hoping someone might know what the two mystery pieces might be. I haven't been able to locate any info on them.

  Found a nice smith 686 357 at the sportsmans show. Also while I was there this guy had a 1896 AU55 morgan for $12 when silver was +/-$14.

  Love the 1885-CC Morgan

  If the bust on the 222 higher than the rim? It looks like it has been cleaned, but nice pickups! The 222 should pay for the whole lot!

  It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  Very nice pick-ups. You might find more information on the others here. They are listed in the Eglit book on Columbiana. Nothing exceptionally rare, but still nice finds. There are many on ebay that will put "unlisted SC$" just to get attention. The Spice token is an advertising piece so it can't be listed as a SCD. Tough piece to find in decent grade.
