A week later, a company came into the hotel at Lake Sumpter, and I went there to see what their price was for same coins. He was giving (at the time) 34.00 on a dollar. I went home and sold the coins to him. Jewelry is an, all to different subject. I haven't got a clue!!! Especially costume jewelry. Maybe between the Coin Clubs here in The Villages, and maybe some kind of Jewelry Club, they could help out their fellow Villagers, before they sell? Anyway, the article in paper is worth reading before you make any decisions.
Obviously, Belks was getting some money from that company as they were really taking advantage of the public.
You did good. The average going rate, depending on daily market, at this time would be about $30.00 for the coins you mentioned.
