Thanks for all the info. Now the quote is something I have never thought about. The problem is that some of the coins I would like to have come up so seldom at the grade that I want - okay to qualify that, something I can afford. I think maybe I do need to show some patience. Now one of the coins I won the 1879(PR63 3 since 2005) shield nickels they were the first I had seen at that low a grade. I actually did not do to bad on that one or the 1880 PR65. The others were just common date coins with reasonable prices. And maybe that is the problem - most of the coins I am looking at on heritage are key(or semi key) dates. The tougher auctions to win.
I have never really thought about bidding on lots of lots - I find it strange to bid $100 on coin that is regularly going for $300 - $400. I don't have a clue why I haven't just bid. I will do that - especially for the common dates that are regularly at the higher grades. Who knows I might win one.
