And their prices are actually pretty good usually. The only problem I had with them was about a year ago with the pandemic and all, and there was a long delay in shipping my Peace dollar that I had ordered. They ended up sending me a nice slabbed 1922 MS63 instead of the raw coin I had ordered. I was happy.
Be patient in the auctions. Just won 115 asst. 90% quarters; in my pocket at $550. Now some may say I paid too much, but, I'm not expecting the silver price to bottom out any time soon, and, they went into my pocket at under spot, which it's hard to feel bad about.
You did ok, I passed on 334 Merk's and Rosie's at 18x face last coin meeting. In my defense, there were less merks than Rosie's and the merks were thin. The last time I bought dimes was in Laughlin at 12x face. The seller wanted 15x face if I wanted to get selective OR 12x if I took them all. I took them all and he was hoping that I wouldn't as silver was closing in on 14x face.
Being in MN makes it tough as you have to pay full sales tax (7.5% give or take) on coins and bullion, on top of the auction house premium (10-19% is typical).
No sales tax in Arizona. Someone smart with computers should start a coin club where you guys could funnel your purchases through Arizona in route to your state. I know a guy but he's pretty busy.
