<p>[QUOTE="Ed Sims, post: 1883639, member: 59688"]The 1912-S has issues which makes it a hard sell to a collector for their set or as a type coin but, at junk silver the coin is worth about $7.50. The 1906-D has a full rim on the back which makes this coin a G-4 which is worth about $17.00. If you can get both for under $20.00 including any buyer's premium the auction company may have you will come out ahead. Be sure to ask what the auction company's buyers premium is and factor that fee into the amount of your bids.</p><p><br /></p><p>Be careful not to get caught up in the auction and over bid. It is very easy for a first timer to do that. The key is to remain in control of yourself. Write down your maximum bids for the lots you are interested in and do not exceed them. Some local auction companies use phantom bidders (A bidder behind you which does not exist) and/or shill bidders when someone they have not seen before comes and bids so you want to be in a position where you can see who is bidding against you. Not many risk doing this but there are a few that do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
