A Quick Visit to My Local Coin Shop
While three children were getting their teeth looked it with their mom, I went with the other three to a local coin shop. It was the first time they entered a store where they sell coins.
Silver Liberty Coin
I'm always looking for good pickups and this trip did not disappoint. I saw this liberty coin being sold at "face value", even though it only contains 1/5 oz silver. This is one of the infamous "Liberty Dollar" coins created by Bernard NotHause. Designed to be a silver trade dollar, the project dissolved after Bernard was arrested for "counterfeiting". As if this coin could be confused for a US mint coin.
Susan B. Anthony Dollar Coins
I found two uncirculated Susan B. Anthony dollar coins for three dollars.
It's not the "wide rim" variety which is pretty rare and valuable, but two dollar coins for three dollars isn't too bad! Especially since two dollars in 1979 was worth over EIGHT of our shrinking modern dollars.
Indian Head Penny
Picked up a 1906 Indian Head Penny that was a silvery color. It was in a bin marked 50% off.
I asked why it had a silvery color to it and the shopkeep said it was dipped in mercury metal, creating a copper/mercury amalgam. Very interesting! I'll by that for a dollar!
Irish Penny
Seems funny trading a dollar for a penny, but this is no ordinary penny. It's an IRISH penny from 1968. A "lucky" penny.
Conclusion
It was a fun trip to the coin shop and I think my children enjoyed it. We found a little something for everyone and it was a fun way to spend some time.

Nice additions for sure! Every little bit helps!
One day soon, the commodity value alone of that lucky Irish penny will worth far more than you paid for it.

I agree! I'll have to look up the metal content of the Irish penny. I think it's copper, but not sure.

That’s a beauty, pure silver porn!
They are nice silver for sure... although I don't get off on it. :-)
Silver liberty coin actually looking so silver and portraying liberty
That's my favorite coin from the pickup.
Those are some awesome coins can't wait till my boy is old enough to appreciate the art and learn the value of investing
Someday for sure!
Amazing stack of silver coins. Liberty with 1/4 oz are so nice to collect !
Yes and they are pretty scarce. Any coin with a story is interesting to me.
It looks like you had fun picking a decent amount of coins and I don't think I have ever gone to a coin shop before.

It's a fun experience, if anything conversations with the shop owner are always interesting.
When the internet breaks at-least you have silver coins to buy food LOL

That's the idea! Can't eat crypto or silver, but if the grid went down, one can be easily traded for survival.
haha, I dont believe the internet will ever gets destroyed unless we uses a completely new technology.
Its a doomsday scenario, even if it where to happen there are already alternative "internets" like mashnetoworks that people can set up on their phone and transaction cryptocurrency, but I dont believe in these dooms day ideas.
