Silver keeps getting crushed
Comment from : @bobsacamano7653

Years ago when casinos used silver dollars, they routinely cleaned them Makes me wonder how many of the silver dollars from the Binion collection were cleaned
Comment from : @walterswanson3867

Well, I would hazard a guess that youngsters have never been interested in antiques

That 1oz buffalo is cool
Comment from : @rukushee2294

I bought seven random year Benjamin Franklin half dollars yesterday and I paid $80 and I think 60 cents the local coin shop was getting 23 times face and interestingly enough the shop down the street was charging 24 times face I got in the game a bit late only a couple of weeks ago but I'm still going to continue to buy even though the price is up I almost bought a 1 oz gold coin yesterday as I don't own any of that yet but I hedged at the last minute and didn't pull the trigger Still thinking about doing it possibly even tomorrow

Comment from : @precioushlongwa-k3i

I was in Dubuque a week ago and stopped at this shop since i saw it on here He said he's had a lot of new people in that saw this video on YouTube Got some vintage bars and a few eagles from him Nice guy
Comment from : @AllenGugeler-bp3ry

I went here a couple years ago and they were closed :( I knew it looked so familiar Great video!
Comment from : @mikek817

Now that silver is over $ 31 an ounce, you did well on those giant silver rounds

Mint is over price
Comment from : @johnolson3673

Tough to compete against Costco, which is sucking up a large percentage of the market
Comment from : @ericparde8070

if you have a $100 coin - they'll buy it for $90 - sell it for $110 that's just the way life works
Comment from : @markhellman-pn3hn

Hmm, im interested in numismatics and im 26 Id say im considered young in the community I guess more coins for me
Comment from : @Atomic-Purple-Guy

Nice coaster
Comment from : @geoffreythompson7378

Can you show ous the coins in the frame on your walls plz
Comment from : @duanedas5346

Always love your videos, I’ve been collecting since I was 8, I’m now 21 Love your knowledge of this stuff
Comment from : @DizzyIzzy-ze6hh

Antiques, stamps, old coins, baseball cards, and comic books all going out What keeps coins alive is simply the precious metals, not the history The precious metals side of coins will remain popular and keep coin shops in business
Comment from : @profenew9640

I agree younger people are not interested in history The are only interested in their cell phones and interactions with others texting and on the internet
Comment from : @wendyphillips9792

A coin shop should be judged on attitude as much as price By that I mean honest, fair pricing with some give and take I wish I had a coin shop like that near me!

You got the coolest content, Dawg!!
Comment from : @myrongunnar1518

Great haggling I'm always interested in a deal just like this You pay up in the front but make up for it in the end Always barter AlwaysbrSweet video
Comment from : @edwardaustin740

The word I see I'm nervous of, is proof
Comment from : @MNpolarbear

Why would I buy anything “over spot” when I can order directly from the mint?
Comment from : @larrysorenson4789

Yup My parents got out of antiques in about 2002 They've since passed and I sold off two storge units of their remainder stock Pottery and marked dishes market is a mere shadow of its former self The antique market was HOT in the 90's
Comment from : @edackley8595

Liking the Binion coins, I think you did decent on the price I've been watching em for a while now and that's reasonable
Comment from : @shufflesilver

That’s so true I try all the time to get my stepdaughter to like antique and stuff and nope just phone it makes me mad

Comment from : @fushi-the-Immortal

Antiques: my great grandfather owned a furniture manufacturing facility in the 1880’s Yes, I am very old I have my great grandmothers entire boudoir set Chairs, chests, mirror, everything They are all in our master bedroom and look appropriate and fantastic I restored them all and reupholstered them many years ago My grown children have absolutely no interest in these rare family heirlooms My dad was a test pilot I have steamer trunks of stuff chronicling the testing of the early jet bombers and a ton of stuff from the Mercury and Apollo programs These guys were all family friends and we saw them often at Edwards and Dayton I even have envelopes that went to the moon No one is interested I only have a few years to decide what to do with all the stuff I may just put it all in one big box and send it to the Smithsonian Let them figure out what to do with it
Comment from : @larrysorenson4789

Thin enough to cut thinks I
Comment from : @Revenant_Dancer

Those Benji's were a great pickup and dog lovers dont care about there dogs toys laying about, it wouldn't bother me as long as i was getting a good deal
Comment from : @rustybritches6747

Comment from : @chrislaymon284

Comment from : @chrislaymon284

wow so thin
Comment from : @chrislaymon284

That roll has been previously opened Most likely searched for errors and resold
Comment from : @RKMetalWorx

If those coins got Mike Mezack's seal of approval that does it for me!!!
Comment from : @hiataki7

Thanks for the video
Comment from : @RealtorInThe828

"Let me just get this Silver Eagle out of the way ," and the ting after actually tossing it to the side Hilarious!
Comment from : @syovar1

If you ever go back take some doggy treats for Millie I have about half-dozen coin shops within an hour drive and as many gold & silver shops that sell bullion I also have an auction house that has one or two auctions a year, unfortunately since Covid the auctions are online only and bidding starts at $20 on all items You can't go in to preview the entire listings, you can ask to see a few items but not the entire lot Descriptions are vague
Comment from : @donaldjones3580

Cool video Seeker 👋🐸
Comment from : @Teh-Jones

The large 1 oz Silver Buffalo would have been really nice if they were kilo rounds instead
Comment from : @David_1977

You could sell these Binion coins for 150 each in europe lol
Comment from : @blueocean7761

I like big buffalos and I cannot lie
Comment from : @JesseCoins

I have been there Glad you avoided the other ones in town, they are rip offs
Comment from : @DrMario69

Greysheet shows 290 for the Bengy roll but a couple month old sheet
Comment from : @RobertLee-wi5kc

I hear a lot about different hoards of silver dollars What are some good hoards to get silver dollars from and what classifies a collection to be a hoard?
Comment from : @dannyhack4274

Great video 👍
Comment from : @noicue8078

Never hurts to ask for a deal my LCS gives me deals because I have made friends with him
Comment from : @williamdavis3578

I’m a younger stacker and love history I just hate getting over charged on my silver Kinda pointless if ur paying to much and dealers around me always want top doller
Comment from : @oldscoolcooldiecast1879

We spend weekends in Dubuque a couple times a year and I enjoy shopping at this place I agree they are great guys and have always felt they are giving good deals Was nice to see a place I have visited shown
Comment from : @iowacardiacnurse

Those big buffalos are hilarious ahahaha, I’ve seen big buffalos a few times but they’re always 5 or 10 ounces not 1 ahaha

Comment from : @EYELOVEALL

Those giant Buffaloes are GORGEOUS! Happily pay a few quid extra just to have one Dublin Ireland here
Comment from : @garylynch9206

I bet the dog was not for sale!
Comment from : @user-tp1bi6of3v

Regarding the Halves, does being uncirculated really warrant a 29x face price?
Comment from : @christianmayhew2617

Whoa, Dubuque getting near me!brbrAnother Great one!
Comment from : @DroppingDaMike

So true about this new generation!
Comment from : @Kplightner1980

Buffalo rounds are huge and beautiful I would have turned around to😂
Comment from : @charlesrandall6835

I have 4 great big coin coasters for drinks Large Lincoln Wheatie large Washington quarter, large Franklin half dollar, and a large Morgan Dollar but they're made out of aluminum but still kinda cool I think
Comment from : @charlesrandall6835

Great video and pick ups
Comment from : @ReeferGil

Looks like you made out well You have to make allowances for any LCS because they just do not and cannot have the economies of scale that on-line dealers can achieve, and so they need to be a dollar or two higher than a lot of on-line dealers to make any money and still be competitive
Comment from : @veritasfiles

Sweet pickups especially the roll of 1958 d franklins!
Comment from : @jparkersilverstacker5128

Nonot the gloves
Comment from : @horton9623

That bu roll of 58 Franklins was a great buy at that price On eBay It ranges from 300 to 450
Comment from : @GhostDiZ

Nice Benjis The buffalo rounds are neat too
Comment from : @nickallman5000

Those are some beautiful Benjis!
Comment from : @originalatogscoins

Please more secret shop videos Thank u
Comment from : @lawndogmoon2

I traded one of those giant buffalo's back in 2019 for a pristine (just out of a bank roll) River of No Return W quarter Not a scratch or mark on it Best trade I've ever made!
Comment from : @ndbg46881

Thanks for the heads up on a good coin shop I'm in eastern Iowa semi regularly, so maybe I can stop and see them
Comment from : @kayeninetwo3585

Comment from : @thekiwiclipper1113

Nice I don’t regret anything I’ve bought from local coin shops They’re fair and they have to keep their business going
Comment from : @madmattdigs9518

Hey are you coming to the KC coin show in April?
Comment from : @massagedude3487

Finally someone who knows how to handle coins with out adding more abrasionsNice FRANKLIN'S
Comment from : @jaymartell2967

A nice roll of Benjamin's and first time I have seen the thin buffalo with design on one side Am glad you had some good results
Comment from : @amyharrell251

Plz keep the secret shopper videos going you earned a sub👍
Comment from : @elicrazy8511

I haven't seen one of those huge buffaloes in a long time It sounds like you generally had a really good experience there I'm glad you went and I hope someone lives close enough to that shop to give them some business!
Comment from : @TheQuickSilver101

1:00 nice that makes the antique coins cheaper for me!
Comment from : @Harrisondoescoinreviews

Those Benjamin coins are very nice! Hope to see more of these types of undercover coin shop videos 👍
Comment from : @darrensoldan5972

I think you're right about numismatics dying off When I go to the coin shows there's a stamp collecting area I call 'em "The Ancients" and nobody sitting there with magnifying glasses and tweezers is under 70 years old
Comment from : @jaybarr3307

Those Binion slabs do well at auction, and that's why I don't have one They go for a bit more than I want to pay, which is good if you're a seller You could flip those dollars and come out OK
Comment from : @jeffw1267

Those giant silver Buffs were interesting because it made me wonder if anyone was producing a 10-oz version brof these I did a quick search online but did not find any references to a 10-oz silver buffalo round I'm not abrfan of the buffalo design but a 10-oz, version would be pretty nice
