<p>[QUOTE="playin4funami, post: 994772, member: 21976"]Out here in nebraska we have alot of estate auctions usually with two hundred years worth of family stuff on the block, some have some good finds most don't, the old farmers will bid on any old coins weather they are valuable or not to a certain amout, this is where knowing your coins comes in handy as they don't have a clue as to what is rare and what is not. I have seen common silver halfs and dollars go for 10 times their market value but if you find a real good coin worth alot then nobody else ever seems to know so you can still get them at a great price. I think some of the folks that go to these auctions just bid to be bidding or because they think it is old and therefore valuable. have not been to any in a while, need to get out more. Once bought a cardboard box of old tabacco tins for 3 bucks, got home and one of the tins was packed with 40 morgans, nothing great but gotta love that![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
