<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vipergts2, post: 1271913, member: 3881&quot;]I went to a coin and currency aucion over the weekend with the goal of buying a few lots if I could get a good enough deal. Getting a good deal on coins was out of the question I would find out. ( you can&#039;t compete with ignorance! People were bidding on common date sgs Morgans as if they were really ms 66 coins)</p><p>I did manage to buy a few bills at what I think was a good price. Although I did learn that the old saying buy the book before the coin/currency should stipulate you read the book too!!</p><p>One note I bought was a series of 1929 $20 national currency note. While researching I read to watch for bank names. Before the auction I was trying to get a quick look at the conditions of the coins and notes. When I looked at the note I saw Chicago and I thought &quot;bingo&quot;. After I bought the bill for $42 and got home to reserch a bit more I noticed it said &quot; Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago&quot; and not a state bank. Oops! Average buy price is about $10 lower for fed banks. Oh well I sill like the note.</p><p>My other buys included an Unc 1935 E star silver certificate and two consecutive Unc 1963 A $2 bils. I think I did much better on these notes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
