<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 473919, member: 6036&quot;]Here&#039;s something super-cool I love to do :</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Go to the big auctions before the live bidding. Sit down and look at the lots.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are reasons why this is much more efficient than walking the floor :</p><ul> <li>All the coins are in one place and organized.</li> <li>You know exactly &quot;what is where&quot; before you show up.</li> <li>There are thousands of terrific coins.</li> <li>Virtually all types of coins will be there. And several of each type (except the really tough types). Decide something you&#039;re interested in and really hit those.</li> <li>Since all coins of a type are grouped together, it&#039;s easy to compare. It&#039;s easy to learn which ones are high-end for the grade and which are low end. Guess which ones are more frequent ? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></li> </ul><p>Get an auction catalog beforehand (or browse the website) and decide which ones are particularly interesting . Note those lot numbers, but look at many others as well. Might find some pleasant surprises !</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>None of this, of course, can replace talking to dealers and reading up. But I find it very helpful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
