Coin search and/or coin find

Another auction that I attended last fall went very well for one guy, it was at an old well kept farm. When I got there late I could not believe the amount of coins, way to many for me to search in depth. there were hundreds of walking halfs and were put to bid in lots of about 40 pieces. The walkers were going for $2 to 2.50 apiece, I stood there just stunned, the auction was going so fast that by the time I located my wife with the bid card and money the walkers were almost gone. I bid on one lot and and ended up not getting such a good deal, I bought 40 1935pds for 3.50 each. The one guy that cleaned up paid 2.00 - 2.50 each for hundreds of walkers dated in the teens thru the mid thirtys. Was'nt my day but ohh so close, I just did'nt have it together at the best auction I've come across.

I hope the great deal you got last nite wasn't from a seller who had stuff with a BIN price dirt cheap, and then was later removed for fraud. I thought I had some amazing deals last night, about 800 dollars worth, only to find out ebay removed him for fraud, and instructed me not to pay after I had already. Thankfully paypal has buyer protection. This guy was taking other people's coin pictures, and selling them as if he owned them. :goof:

 

Just cleaned up my place today, and found some coins I forgot I had... a 1 peso and 5 peso coin from the Philipines, nice shiny 10 and 50 won coins from Korea, and an old (1975) 100 won from Korea. Got these while I was in Korea (the Filipino coins were from my roommate who took a trip there) and had them in the back of my filing cabinet, and long since forgot they were there until I rediscovered them, sorting out my filing cabinet again, lol...

Also found my 2000 tax return, among several other pieces of no longer needed paperwork...
