By that I mean, you've spent the preplanned amount, but decide to keep bidding because you're pretty sure you can sell the extras at a profit. Be especially careful of raw coins. Unclaimed property auctions are not usually run by a coin dealer or coin auction company. It's strictly buyer beware. If a coin turns out to be fake, cleaned, etc., too bad for you; they're not taking it back. Cal[/QUOTE]
