Then search those closing earliest up to 24 hours.... I do best with that method for good certified coins from collector to collector at good discount.

Many collectors, being collectors and not dealers looking to retire early, forget or overlook the certification option when selling.... I've found many nice certified coins (and some raw) searching the basement of the 'bay,,, takes a LOT of time, but you can win and put together a nice collection of coins at profit/investment if you put the time in.
