<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MalakingAso, post: 1349818, member: 33557&quot;]I have experienced similar bidding at local auctions.&nbsp; People paying $35 to $45 for common date and circulated peace and morgans.&nbsp; ASE&#039;s never go under $40 and sometimes hit $50.&nbsp; At the ones I attend it seems they bid up the common coins to what I think are ridiculous prices but this means I find one or two steals per auction.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For example, I was able to get a philharmonic silver round for melt because no one knew what it was.&nbsp; At another auction I grabbed a barber half for melt and two half dimes.&nbsp; Not great deals but not bad in my book.&nbsp; I now go to see what I can get that no one else knows.&nbsp; Unfortunately the auctioneer knows the value and usually starts the bidding right at melt. Next time something comes up that others don&#039;t know I may offer at just under melt and see what they do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
