<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wgpjr, post: 1390222, member: 22482&quot;]The auction house I frequently visit, here are some trends I&#039;ve noticed:</p><p><br /></p><p>Buffalo and V nickels do NOT sell.&nbsp; Unless it&#039;s close to MS state or a rare date, forget it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Wheat cents tend to sell for more than I&#039;m willing to pay.&nbsp; Not sure why they go so high?</p><p><br /></p><p>IHC later dates sell really low, usually $1 a piece.&nbsp; I got some really nice &#039;09 cents that had full LIBERTY on the headband for $4 a piece.&nbsp;&nbsp; Early IHC don&#039;t seem to go for much either.&nbsp; I&#039;ve gotten all the copper nickel IHC for like $4 to $5 each.&nbsp; I&#039;ve sold those at my local antique store booth for $15 a piece easy.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>FE cents really don&#039;t go for much either.&nbsp; Similar to the copper nickel IHC.</p><p><br /></p><p>Morgans and Peace dollars usually sell around $35 to $40.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Silver dimes, really doesn&#039;t matter what type, go for around melt if not a little bit higher.&nbsp; Now granted, a higher grade one will go much higher, but common low grades will not.&nbsp; I&#039;ve picked up bust dimes for dirt cheap.</p><p><br /></p><p>Same way with silver halves.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Good quality standing liberty quarters sell at decent prices, however I rarely see them at the auction house I attend.&nbsp; Kind of disappointing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gold rarely sells much higher than it&#039;s melt price.&nbsp; If I had the money, I&#039;d be buying up all of it as there has been some good stuff go through.</p><p><br /></p><p>Proof sets, and I&#039;m referring to the clad sets, typically sell around $4.&nbsp; Mint sets are around the same unless it&#039;s a set that has several dollar coins in it.&nbsp; Auctioneer will not start the bidding at less than face value, though I have won some sets just a quarter above face!</p><p><br /></p><p>To me, if you&#039;re selling at an auction, I don&#039;t see much money in it.&nbsp; As you can tell from my post, a lot of it goes cheap.&nbsp; I usually buy from them but sell at a local &quot;antique&quot; shop via&nbsp; booth and I do alright.&nbsp; It&#039;s not a second income or anything, but it does fund my hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
