<p>[QUOTE="Mainebill, post: 3023265, member: 44004"]Yeah it’s tough. I do the same with antiques too. Sorry your ca 1930 dining room set is worth about $200 which is about $150 more than it was worth 15 years ago due to the fad of painting that sort of stuff white and distressing it. Yet the ratty looking old cupboard in the barn with the tractor parts in it. Now that I pay money for it because nobody ever refinished it or painted over the original red milk paint those are the things I like to find. As to coins once in awhile I get a surprise too. A ct member asked me to look at a collection they inherited when I was in Illinois recently. The 2 1/2 they posted wasnt high ms like it looked in pics. But is a 58/62 slider. And they had some nice better date Morgan’s including an 89-cc fine original gray. And original proof sets from the 50s and even a 41 and 42. Those are the collections I like to see even though there was none of the early stuff I like personally[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
