[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1389733, member: 66"]That's true you can, but I prefer to look for the better material that ISN'T bullion related since it often attracts less attention while everyone is fixated on the PM stuff. One of the best local auctions I ever attended had a bunch of 90%, silver dollars (mostly common but a few better pieces), a BUNCH of two dollar bills (mostly 63 and 76 series stuff), and a smattering of other items.
