Afternoon everyone ….
During our stay in Las Vegas for our silvergoldstackers meet up. We paid a visit to a pair of local coin shops. The first one that we stopped at, I would highly recommend. It is called Archangel Coins, they had a very diversified selection of stuff for any style collector or stacker.
They had graded collector coins, raw collector coins, modern semi numismatic coins, silver rounds and bars as well as a few pieces of poured silver. They had a bunch of different options for gold as well including Goldbacks.
I had a few pieces in mind that I was looking for. But unfortunately they didn’t have any in stock at the moment we were there. So I did what I typically do at a local coin shop. I went through the bin of silver rounds and bars looking for some finds.
Almost everything had a price sticker on it. But that price ended up being negotiable, which is the sign of a good coin shop. I ended up buying eleven pieces that day during the visit.
I look for unusual items or items that I know I can flip for a profit. This piece falls in the second category.
It’s a 1973 Patrick Mint one ounce silver bar. It’s called the “Prairie Schooner”. The sticker was $30, but he gave it to me for $27. These are collectible and in searching sold listings on eBay they go for between $42-$57.
The bar is in the original mint case and is in perfect condition. It will shortly be listed for sale.
Here is the bar….
There are deals out there for the taking. You just have to be looking.
