<p>[QUOTE="bahabully, post: 850627, member: 17555"]I've been to at least a dozen "estate auctions" and "confisgated goods" auctions, and have never once seen a deal on any coins... almost all go at retail plus, most are common... Local estates auctions - don't waist your time folks. The auction companies DO know they are selling,, and they WILL cherry pick any nice coins or ensure an inside bidder in out there to push the price to what they want.... thier "reputation" is not a concern in the least..... there are far too many suckers out there that come in with a little bit marketing > "ESTATE AUCTION - GOLD COINS !".. "CONFISGATED GOLD".. "NO RESERVE"... haha.... what that translates to is.. "here kitty kitty kitty,,, warm bowl of milk for you kitty kitty kitty". Again, don't waist your time with the local yokal estate auctions. You'll have better luck spending the day going to home garage sales or the flea market or surfing ebay.... or finding the Easter Bunny... good hunting, and HAPPY EASTER ! Peace and Joy to all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
