Weekend Vacation- Part 1 Flea Market Finds
Before vacation on the river started....even before we made it to the cabin, it was straight to the flea market. The main building that was the inside part of the flea market burned a couple years ago and I haven't been back since. Wasn't sure if the coin guys would be there. Sure enough he was there and he remember me, I'm not an easy person to forget.
Tech N9ne Coin
I actually found several people outside selling coins. The normal coin guy had this Tech N9ne round. I actually had the opportunity to meet Tech N9ne while working in Overland Park, Kansas. He was at the bar performing and I'd never heard of him until starting a convo after his set. That was in 2002. Pretty cool dude, but that's a story for another day. It's not solid .999 and the price reflected that.
Foreign Coin Lot
Next I found some world coins. He was selling them all together for $15. I got some Mexican Pesos/Centavos, Philippine Pesos, a 1901 England Penny and a 1941 Indian Rupee that's .500 Fine Silver. I look at it as a win since I didn't have any of them and got some silver. Here they are.
Coin Starter Kit
The last guy was selling this lot as a coin starter kit. It came with some air-tites, folds and other protective covers. This guy was the coolest one there and it was my first time talking to him. He told me he had been collecting for 50yrs and was thinning out his collection. After talking a little while he started dropping some deals on me. I got the starter kit with a little mix for $10. Here is what it looked like.
The Best Part
Then came my favorite part of it all. More 90% dimes. I was able to walk with this box of 43 dimes for $30.
And to make the whole thing just over the top, he threw in a 1937-1940 Arizona Tax token. It was a hell of a day at the flea market and I hadn't even started the fun yet. Here is the token. (Sorry for the garbage pics, I'm having issues today.)
End Part 1
With my spirits high and my cooler full of beer, I was ready for anything the weekend could bring at me. Stay tuned for Part 2 which will include the river trip and some of the animals we saw. Thanks for reading.

I thought it was pretty cool. This is my first large cent of any kind. I'll be getting more. Thanks for stopping by.
Wow, those are some great deals, especially the dimes. That's over $50 worth of dimes for $30, score! Spot price, what's spot price? Ha ha. Well done. Looking forward to those pics of the rest of the trip.

Thanks @ssg-community for rocking!
Great scores! And great deal.
I was happy for sure. They don't get many people looking for coins in that neck of the woods. Thanks for checking it out @fat-elvis.
