<p>[QUOTE="ocjoe949, post: 1489831, member: 35416"]I agree... I go to auctions mostly because I am also an antique and collectibles dealer, if there are coins there I dont even bid. I dont even try, unless im bidding someone up. Since I do antique flea markets, I will often make my rounds to people I know that sell coins... NOT as their main deal, but people who come across them in storage lockers or in an estate buy out. They always give me good deals. I bought a roll of war nickels for $1.00 a coin. I bought $2.40 of Canadian silver face value coins for $30.00. A 1923 Silver certificate horse blanket for $15.00 in decent shape. None of this stuff probably cost him much but he's making a profit, and he left me room to make myself $30.00 - $50.00 on a $80.00 investment. Its not big dollars, but i'll take it anytime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
