First Deal I've ever gotten from a pawn shop.

[bsshog40]

I go to a couple thrift stores and a couple pawn shops in a town I work in. Just looking for something interesting. Today was the first day I seen a coin in this little pawn shop. It was in a little ziplock baggie and laying upside down. I was about to leave and thought I'd ask to see it for the fun of it. Pawn coins are always priced waaaay too high for me. Anyway, the guy pulled the bag out and told me it was $14.99. I said I'll take it. Would you have bought it?

Wow Bsshog40......I don't even like Morgan dollars that much, but even I think that's gorgeous!! Nice pick up! Congrats

Thanks y'all!

That was a great buy !

Good pickup.  Did you buy it on the blind, inside the package, or see the slab first?

I only saw the top two photos on first glance and was amazed......then knowing it's slabbed to boot.....how on earth did the pawn shop slip up on that?! Great find, beautiful coin! 

I'd go back there often.

Wow!

I bet the pawn shop still  doubled their money on the deal.

For that price? Heck yeah!

I seen the slab and the reverse of the morgan. When they flipped it over to give me the price, the toning jumped out at me. I bought it on the spot. Didn't know the grade until I got it outside to leave. I did see the MS but not the numerical grade. Lol

What a sweet deal ! '79-S is a favorite date of mine and that one is sooooo original.

Way to go Bobby.  Always good to see someone here on the board get a bargain coin.

 

Ps A no line fatty to boot.
