<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 4433525, member: 26302&quot;]Auctions have always been weird, especially non-coin auctions with coins in them. I have told this story here before, but in the 1980s my dealer/mentor had a standing order with an auction house in town. Every week, junk silver dollars, a few junk halves, and one cheap $5 gold piece, (usually cleaned). The whole lot usually ran $200 or so each week. I went to his auction one time. The $5 cleaned gold went for $300+ by itself, and $5 junk morgans went for $15+, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>I told the dealer this, he said he knows, but if someone refuses to learn he can&#039;t stop them. It was a good outlet for junk that came into his store and he made a little profit on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
