[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1340987, member: 75105"]I agree with mostly everyone's comments. I too hardly ever see good coins at auctions. It usually if a elderly couple dies, and their contents get auctioned off.....if your lucky and the family doesn't take it all (which is their right). If I can get coins cheap, to make a profit it on, I will buy them. This is usually stuff that just clutters up a safe, worn to nothing silver coins, cleaned pennies, etc. I'm not mad one bit. It just kinda sucks that these people are eliminating good deals. I don't ever go to an actual coin auction, meaning nothing but coins, but I go to estate auctions. Usually if a real coin auction takes place on the same weekend, all the dealers will be there, and not at the estate sale with coins. All I can do is make them pay more, and then maybe they might back down a little. I'm not greedy, I just want a couple coins. If I had millions to blow, then I would buy coins off the internet or something. Who cares about saving a few dollars on coins when you have 7 figures in your bank account? I am learning, albeit slowly, on how to tell the bad from the good.[/QUOTE]
