<p>[QUOTE="Victor, post: 345140, member: 5454"]I attend at least one a month, sometimes more. If you never went, you don't know what you're missing. </p><p>Just as an example figure this: One dealer has a box marked half off. I always dig through and come up with something. So this time I picked an unc 1946 Booker T. Washington priced $39.00, a beautiful unc 1979D Washington quarter at $2.95, and a nice white 1959 unc Franklin half dollar with choice FBL priced at $17.95. So the total of the 3 coins is $59.95. Half off would be just under $30. I handed the 3 coins to the guy and said "Twenty bucks". He said yes. Now I can use them all but if I just sold the Franklin for ten bucks, and kept the unc clad quarter; I'd end up with a nice Booker T. for under ten bucks!</p><p>The next table had a bag of 53 Indian head cents.</p><p>That dealer wanted $70. I said "How about $60?" He says "deal". Out of the 53 cents I got at least 6 that you can read the Liberty on the headband, which grade VG or XF, maybe worth $6 to $8 each. The dates were three 1890, three 1896, a few more in the 1890's and the rest 1900 and newer. There were about 6 that are AG. The rest are G+ to VG. And I paid $1.13 each!</p><p>I bought from 2 more tables, one was a 1920-S Walker in VG for $7.00</p><p>You really can't go wrong if you watch what you're doing.</p><p>I passed on a couple of raw Gold Indian 2.5 dollar coins at $205 each.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
