But if you are patient and check frequently and set your limits, there are good bargains to be had at times. One time earlier last year I scored 10 1892-O UNC Morgans that all graded beautifully for about $680 with the 10% premium many add on and sold all but one that is in my collection for a hefty profit. A score like that is rare but I keep checking the auctions around my area all the time. Seems the last 9 months has mostly been small amounts of silver coins not worth a drive of an hour or more and nothing close to make a good score. Won't stop me from looking though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
