<p>[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 578739, member: 57463"]I mentioned in the MSNS topic that at the last convention, dealer Phil Aftoor had a washtub of World Crowns at $10 each or 11 for $100. If you know your crowns, you can do all right as bullion. The numismatic items were good deals, as well. I did overpay egegriously for a Singapore $10 Commem that was only .500 fine, but it all averaged out and the coin was nice in its own right and when I got home, I was happy to see that it was a low-mintage issue. All in all, I have done this more than a few times at the larger shows, MSNS, ANA, CSNS, found a dealer with a bargain bin with nicer near-bullion items.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not much for the usual stuff, the Eagles, Pandas, etc. They just lack historicity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
