[QUOTE="Dawn mohrbavher, post: 238768, member: 4625"]lol I guess I was assuming everyone had their own shop lol not that he wanted to sell to someone's shop heh heh So....here's an idea...being an old sixpence...like really really old! I have a few sixteenth century pieces I picked up in Bath that are older than the old man And I could see them getting all hot and bothered about that. Americans love age....an ancient deed, papers/letters from pre 1700 would be something fun to take in and easy to pack. Btw on those sixpence....I buy bags of coins (mostly British pennies) which I throw in a bin and label "Lucky coins" I might pay 5 cents US for them and I sell them for a dollar I pay very very little for the 1900 to 1947 sixpence (last year with silver in them for those who don't know) so my margin is great there as well. The pre 1900 I pay a bit more for, but again great margin. The pre 1600....I knock those up significantly. I only have six right now but I have sold two sight unseen at four times cost.
