<p>[QUOTE="digibyte, post: 1814887, member: 56443"]I tried to unload a lot of stuff I had in storage including my 40 year old coin collection. I kept the two cent pieces and sold off the rest except the wheaties which the dealer didn't want. Trouble was that I was a poor kid and my collection was pretty much lower grade circulated stuff. I had a few that were nice and so I had a couple grand worth which wasn't bad for something that sat in the closed for that past 25 years or so. For some reason I kept the two cent pieces which I was always liked and then started collecting all over again. I finally finished my two cent collection and have a lot of the three cent nickels. I'm looking to upgrade the two centers if I can find them at a good value. I have a large art deco bookend collection too and five clock statues in my library. I have learned that if you really know a lot about something like the deco bookends you can do very well at those kinds of sales. I have even told dealers if they were charging too low a price. My dream is to find a perfect condition pair of Gorham bookends of the lady on divan. They retail for about $7000, but my chances of finding them at a tag sale or antique shop for $500 is like my chances of hitting the lottery.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
