Craigslist actually...under antiques..gotta be careful when buying from there,but several of my morgans have come off of CL,and at a fairly good price.

This is My newest acquisition...I fell in love with this!

It's payday so I am on the hunt again. Can't decide between investing in a Buffalo Nickel, Mercury Dime/s or perhaps a Walking Liberty Quarter. Once I start looking, I get concerned I haven't done enough research, etc. etc...

How is everyone else doing? Any new acquisitions?

Hey Elijah....I spent 7 weeks fighting with Workers Comp to get paid so unfortunately i have not purchased anything new. As far as MY suggestion on what coin to purchase i would go for anything silver before non silver.I like buffalo nickels,but there arent a lot out there worth much money. With the dimes and quarters you get the melt value as well as the age value. Of course thats just how i look at it!

Also morgan dollars are always a good buy as well!

happy hunting!

I actually ended up getting 20 Buffalo Nickels...I had really wanted some and the price was better than the alternatives. Thanks scoote, you are always helpful.
