[QUOTE="libertyseated, post: 211921, member: 8137"]These non specialized auctions can be crazy, they may have 3 different auction rings selling 20 feet apart. You get jammed in all together because most people will get there late and not get to fully go over all the lots, so that means everyone wants close to the front. Many older collectors who care little about strict grades, rarity or price collect many types of things they remember from childhood and think nothing of dropping a $60 bid on a common date large cent in VG condition or a VF 1888 dollar. I was at farm auction that had a few coins advertised. A 1854 seated half dime in VG/F condition sold for $86. I soon left the auction without spending a cent, at least I got to enjoy the rest of the day! The fun thing about this type of auction is, you never know? what if that mason jar of wheat cents I just got for 25 bucks has a 09-S VDB in it?[/QUOTE]
