The most recent auction I went to I got a Seated Liberty dime and Half Dime for $6 each. Auctions are definitely a good place to try (no guarantee) to get some nice stuff for a lower than usual price. However, it is a bit sad to see people buying around a dozen Ikes for $7 each. |

I went to an auction a couple years ago and wasn't buying coins. However I did get a box of misc military stuff because that's my other hobby. When I emptied the box, underneath the flap of the box was a little brown envelope. Inside was a colonial fugio cent. I don't have pictures at the moment but my local coin dealer has it and is taking it to Baltimore to get authenticated and graded. When I get it back I will post pics on the classic coin forum.

Went a estate auction at the local VFW they have about every other month. I have had some good buys in there in the past. But since the economy going down so bad people are paying silly prices on everything silver and gold so last time I came home empty handed.

That happens sometimes but but then there are times when the competition buyers don't show up or daydreaming and you get a bargain  |

That is very true it depends on the crowd at the time and weather the bar is open at the VFW. |

I hit an auction a year ago and got some silver halves at spot - around $12 at the time. Seems pretty good right about now.

In my case, the estate sales I've been to have been over priced.

At estate sales the children of the deceased think that all the old junk is "collectible" and must be worth a ton . But then you get the estate sales where they just want everything out. But those are few and far between and you won't find any coins there.
