<p>[QUOTE="Phil Ham, post: 741616, member: 5787"]I bring a red book, note pad, pen, and small magnifying glass with light. I get to the auction at least 30 minutes early and look at the coins and write the year, mint mark, denomination, rough grade, etc. in the notebook. While the auction is going on, I check the value of the coin in the redbook. I never bid higher than 80% of the redbook value. If you're lucky, you can get coins at 10-50% of redbook value. I have a few cases of real luck such as when I bought an entire IHC set for $62.50. And loving it!!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
