[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 2674282, member: 75105"]I usually don't bother with them because there are too many "bidiots", but this was this particular auctioneer's first coin auction, and I was also very bored, amazingly only about 15 people showed up! They had a $5 gold piece, but it sold for $380, which was book price for the grade. 1st score was 5 barber quarters for $2.50 each, they are worn, but anytime there is silver below melt, I take advantage of it! [ATTACH=full]596151[/ATTACH] At one point of the auction, a bunch of people started talking and got distracted, I used this to my advantage, and scored a SLQ for $2.00, $1.16 under melt! [ATTACH=full]596156[/ATTACH] I got this IHC for $1.00, a little dark, but XF in grade. [ATTACH=full]596158[/ATTACH] I got this merc for $1.50, a bit over melt, but a BU example. [ATTACH=full]596152[/ATTACH] I got this BU 1921 Morgan for $22.50 [ATTACH=full]596154[/ATTACH] A 1932-S Quarter for $30.00, very worn, but still a key date! Whoever priced this was smoking crack. [ATTACH=full]596155[/ATTACH] I also got this BU WLH for only $9. Retail is a least $30 [ATTACH=full]596157[/ATTACH] This was the best buy....an 1853 BHLC, I gave only $20 for it. I am guessing the grade is VF35? I will let you decide... I noticed after taking the photo a small spot of verdigris..I was able to remove it entirely with the corner of a piece of paper. [ATTACH=full]596149[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]596150[/ATTACH] Last but not least, an Off center dime for $10. [ATTACH=full]596159[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
