<p>[QUOTE="BIC, post: 8611736, member: 142086"][USER=105571]@Publius2[/USER] , thanks for the detailed advice. We do have a local brick & mortar dealer we trust and have gotten some stuff from him, but he's relatively small with limited offerings for what we seek. What do we look for? Whatever strikes our fancy when we see it. And not overpriced. Fairly priced is OK, underpriced, even better.</p><p><br /></p><p>My wife likes mermaids, so we bought a 1915 $2.50 Pan-Pac MS-66 CAC at an online auction. When it arrived, I was shocked at the the microscopic size of it. Our local dealer recently got some Athens Owls in. Along with a sentimental tie to Greece, a cool looking coin---we bought one.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only specific coin we have been hunting for is a 1925 50c Lexington. A relatively inexpensive coin with sentimental value for my wife. Watched many sell for too much at Heritage Auctions. At the show this past weekend, found an unslabbed decent one for $80 and bought it. Later, found a better unslabbed one for $80 and bought that. If they turn out to not be worth $80 each, doesn't matter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
