[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 1015610, member: 57463"]To answer the easy question, you are much better off at a convention or show. Even the MSNS Show, which is small as regional shows go, draws over 150 dealers and often close to 300, all vying for your dollar. In an online auction, you are trying to outsnipe other emotional clickers. Even an ANA convention auction from Heritage or Stack's rarely sees passions running amok. Usuallly, ANA convention auctions are low-key affairs where dealers stock up and the few collectors enjoy serious bargains. If you joined the Early American Coppers, Inc.
