Just got back from an auction...

Went to a Sunday auction nearby which had a collection of silver and various coins.

I am always surprised how much people are willing to pay for coins...for example:

Morgans for $35-40 each
Clad Ike Dollars for $2.50 each
Silver Dimes for $1.80 each
Silver Quarters for $4.00 each
90% Halves for $9 each
Non War Nickels for $0.50 each
Common Wheat Pennies for $0.12-$0.15 each
Crazy.

I was able to pick up 80 40% halves for $2.50 each (under spot).

Unless the quality was awful, those prices don't seem all that bad.

 

agreed!

 

You guys think 12 to 15 cents each is good for common wheat cents?

 

Considering I see common wheaties in local B&Ms for $.50-$1, yes.

 

I've been selling them for $1.50 a roll. Looks like it's time to go up on price!
