<p>[QUOTE=&quot;se-collectibles, post: 850463, member: 24447&quot;]I went to a local auction last night, mostly because they had some Morgans and UNC Franklins. I figured I&#039;d be bidding against a knowledgeable collector or two, but probably not any dealers as there aren&#039;t any in my town and the auction house is too small to attract specialized dealers from out of town.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s amazing what some people will pay at an auction. The Morgans were all avg circ and there was an 1878 with heavy gouges on the obverse. They went in 2 lots of 6 or 7 each, times the money. $30+ for each, more than you&#039;ll probably pay for common date UNCs from a dealer, and these things were about as far from UNC as a dog is from a cat.</p><p><br /></p><p>I won a lot of 18 buffs, sight unseen, for 60 cents each, thinking that hopefully there&#039;d be something I could use. I just couldn&#039;t let the 50 cent bid stand. Well, I&#039;ve been looking for an excuse to get a new bottle of nic-a-date, now I have one...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
