<p>[QUOTE=&quot;aimzb, post: 994483, member: 26587&quot;]Since several of you mentioned this, I&#039;ll not quote all of you, but if you go often enough, there are really good deals to be had at live auctions.&nbsp; I have discovered that if specific coins are mentioned in the listings (in the paper or on auctionzip.com) there isn&#039;t much point in going unless it is at an odd time or waaaaay out in the middle of nowhere.&nbsp; But, truthfully, a lot of it is just bein lucky on a good find and/or not many collectors showing up.&nbsp; </p><p>I went to one a few weeks ago and got 71 buffalo nickels for $35.&nbsp; That by itself is a great deal.&nbsp; But, 15 of them were in amazing shape (40-50) with one pushing a 56-58 grade.&nbsp; The one I went to yesterday was not bad and I got a couple of decent deals.&nbsp; But, I really wanted a &#039;69 2 cent piece they had there that was in immaculate condition (it would have pushed a 60 or higher grade, beautiful coin).&nbsp; Unfortunately, there were two other hardcore collectors there that turned the bidding into a ****ing contest.&nbsp; The stupid thing ended up going for $450.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
