<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 1395052, member: 36864&quot;]I am a fourth generation collector and currently have possession of our&nbsp; family collection.&nbsp; I believe our collection began in the late 1850&#039;s&nbsp; and is an extremely complete collection.&nbsp; As such a complete collection,&nbsp; the few dates that it is missing are very expensive indeed.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>About&nbsp; two years ago I was at the Long Beach show bidding on a 1794 Flowing hair&nbsp; dollar (PCGS AU-58) when my wife walked in the door just in time to see&nbsp; me raise my number on a six figure bid.&nbsp; One of the dealers that I&nbsp; frequent alerted me to the disapproval on her face.&nbsp; I was too caught up&nbsp; in the moment and foolishly again bid on the dollar.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although I&nbsp; didn&#039;t win the bid, she was so furious that she sold my original 1880&nbsp; proof set with gold to a dealer that she knew I hated to deal with.&nbsp; A&nbsp; whole different story altogether.</p><p><br /></p><p>Moral of the story:</p><p>ABSENTEE BIDDING IS KING!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
