There are some really good flea markets around these parts--good deals on coins and other stuff as well.
I've found too many good deals on coins to remember them all....although last month I found a 1956 Type 1 Franklin (unattributed) in a PR65CAM OGH.
The coin is a shot DCAM and looks nicer than a 65.
It's on its way to be graded.
Dateless SLQ for $1 which shows how tough it is to find a deal at a flea market
Thought I had found a Indian Head 1888/87 but alas it was just grime and gunk...
My other hobby is looking for art work.
Nothing comes to mind except a painting found at a yard sale.
$5 got me a water color from a dead California artist who had auction results as high as $500.
I keep trying, but I've picked a lot of nice antique prints but nothing of significant value.
Mostly rescues from the inevitable trip to the dumpster.
We have one flea market a year around here (High School French Club sponsors)... and while it has a wide variety of things, I have yet to see coins....Cheers, RickO
I want one of those!
Gorgeous...
Man, I'll never understand this new math!
Bought this raw for $20. Graded MS67 at PCGS. Sold it for a very substantial profit.
In the past year, probably a 1856-s lg over small s quarter
I heard a guy in VT bought a Continental Dollar at a flea market, possibly in 60s, and always assumed it was fake. Took it in to a local shop maybe five years ago, got it certified, and it sold for something like $121,000.
Dealing in Canadian and American coins and historical medals.
I bought a 1965 SMS with a nice cameo cent. It's in for grading right now, hoping to see a 66CAM out of it.
Collector, occasional seller
I have been stung at flea market as well as benefited by some purchases.
Here is a seller that had some underpriced items, he said he bought the collection from an elderly diabetic guy who didn't check around on value.
My best recent find (a change find) was a 1953 S Lincoln Cent which would grade MS 65 RD if I sent it in (and it would cost more to grade than it was worth).
"Seu cabra da peste,
"Sou Mangueira......."
No coins but I did buy a large storage type box of coin books for $5 that included a Breen's Encyclopedia.\
How are all these old threads coming back to life? By the time I get about 10 pages deep it's time to go to bed.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
15 years ago or so,
41-d Jefferson marked at $2
came back 67fs
Around 7 years ago found a 1884 IHC for 9 dollars that graded out at PR64 RB
Coin collectors search a "flea market" with their eyes. At a "flee market" they search with a magnet.
I posted before, 3 items come to mind at various automotive swap meets.
A bucket of bolts, that buried inside was a bank bag, with over $200 face in 90%, all for $25 IIRC.
A n 189?-S Morgan, forget which, Graded G4, IIRC, sold to Heritage for $300, paid $10
When silver was high 30's low 40's (I do not document everything down to the second) a guy was just starting to lay stuff out, and had boxes of coins. he had "been in the business" years ago, and was clearing it out. Most 90% dimes were 50 to 60 cents, quarters for $1.50, and halves for $3. Some were more. In the junk box, $1 each or 6 for $6. was a pile of Sac's.
I bought EVERYTHING I could til I ran out of cash, as it was a small auto swap meet so I only had about $1500 or so. I quickly headed to the bank, reloaded, and bought everything that was reasonable. his Morgan, even then were pricey.
Ironically, a couple tables down, an elderly gentlemen was selling off his SnapOn and Mac tools, and among his stuff was a brand new in the box Colt .45 ACP Stainless full size for $500, bought it also.
I bought a lot of things that day with Sac's.
Last year I bought 10 better grade indian cents for $22. This 1887 DDO was in the stack.
