PawnShoppin' Goodies
If you know me you know I like pawnshops.
I'm a huge fan of the low prices and a constant rotating selection!
Maybe it's because I am a cheap ass or maybe it's that I like getting a deal... Nevertheless, the truth is that what you see holding in my hand was purchased from a pawnshop and the picture was taken with my Nikon D3400 that I bought from the pawnshop and this awesome Microsoft surface book that I'm using to write this post is, yes you guessed it, bought from a pawnshop!
So, I tend to like keeping pawnshops in business
Anyways - Today was a fun experience. I found some new and exciting silver pieces I never knew existed until I found them.
Take for instance this 1894 Guatemala Peso
The front side with the lady has some fantastic detail and even though the backside is somewhat beaten' up - I can't help to remind myself that the coin is 120 years old and was actually used as currency! I love the idea that people used this exact coin for many many years to purchase whatever life needed.
The other great fact is that unlike todays currency - this was 90% silver and has not only retained the face value but has grown many multiples in value since the original mint date.
Next I came across something that was pretty much a must have silver piece!
The Giant Buffalo Proof!
That sure is a Giant Buffalo!
Now, I have seen gigantic coins before - But I have never seen a coin this large be only 1oz!
Yup, that giant buffalo round is a flattened 1oz round! Simply blew my mind away when the guy showed it to me, I expected a 5-10oz coin!
$20 with the case... Sold!
I have to say it was quite the successful day pawnshoppin' around - Please feel free to comment on your recent pawnshop experience.

I was wondering if the Buffalo was a 5oz or a 10oz piece...When you told that it was a 1oz piece, my thought was: it must be as thick as a papersheet...
At $20 it was a steal. This piece is unique.
Omg, it is like paper thin! totally unexpected.
I thought so too, unique.
Whoa!That is a pretty cool 1 oz piece and peso. I would never have guess it was that weight, so it must be pretty flat.
I am going to try to get my post in for your contest tomorrow :)
Very thin, I'm sure I could bend it with my hands ;)
Do join! Free! cant loose!
It is very nice to have a hobby like yours. It must be fun to search and find things as valuable as those coins that eventually achieve greater value.
Yeah I totally love to search around for good finds. Precious metals are great and easily resold too.
Thanks for finding interest in my posting!
