<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2156471, member: 71723&quot;]Local coin and coin/estate auctions near me have lots that run from $1 to $10,000 and every point in between. My average lot won price keeps increasing (such is the nature of advancing in the field), but a haven&#039;t yet crossed the $100 average yet (real real soon now), but I always buy at least one $100+ piece lately. I take with me only what I can afford to spend and after I hit close to it, I go home, regardless of what is left. There&#039;s ALWAYS another chance to get similar pieces right around the corner.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best all time &quot;almost struck gold&quot; story. There was one auction with a &quot;box of junk medals&quot; lot. Only me and ONE OTHER GUY bothered to notice one nice piece in there. After the lot went to $30, everyone dropped but me and the other guy. He eventually bid beyond my bankroll at $350. What was in the box of junk medals? A BU 1900 Lafayette Dollar. If one of us hadn&#039;t been there, the other one would have gotten it for $32.50.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
