I'm off to an estate auction tomorrow in a very small town. "Coins" was listed in the small print of the auction flyer. maybe i wont have any competition and when i say small town I mean a town with a population of about 3500 people . It is more then 50 mi from the next town of any size. Anyway wish me luck ill post any buys.
If it was a small print, it probably will just be small coins. Not worth driving in the rain for....LOL. Good luck
I found another listing online this is what it has to say about the coins " Indian head cent. Unc Lincoln cents. Jefferson Nickels, V nickels, Barber dimes, Mercury dimes, Roosevelt dimes, Unc washington quarters, Standing liberty quarter, Walking liberty half, Barber quarter, Barber half, Civil war Indian cent, Buffalo Nickels, Old US Paper money, Mint sets, Commemorative coins, Plus more." I'm interested to see what they mean by Civil war Indian cent maybe a war token
BRING YOUR MAGNET WITH YOU! Just because they live in small tiny towns doesn't mean they can't rip off some big city dude. They might talk dumb but they're sharp as a knife. All that said with tongue in cheek, great searching. Let us know how you made out. zeke
Lol I'm from that small town so I know I'm sharp as a knife. Anyways everything was going way over priced. I got a 1909 D I think might be an S penny to fill a hole in my collection. i would barely call it a G and had to pay 3 bucks for it. Things like a set of 1943 P D S circulated Penny's where selling for $20 to give you a ruff idea how much people where paying for things. I did get this for $1 its neat and only took me half the day to find out what it is . Well kinda. if anyone has anymore info on this i would love to have it.
