It's probably uninformed buyers that figure that police auctions are bargain, and that the thief stole a prized collection.

I remember going to the Vancouver auction looking for a used bike back in the 1980's...it was all complete junk. STuff that goes unclaimed and is worthless, especially the abused stereo equipment.....That should be the new ebay marketing tool and seal of approval: "police auction deal"

current $19... I guess that's $3 for the penny and $16 worth of verdigris ?

anyone else want to start a CCF police auction site with me?

On the bright side. Buyers from this auction will feel they get real bargains when they buy on The Coin Show.

Looking at the 1919 cent Wade posted, it's got a ton of corrosion. I wouldn't even keep that in my collection if it were free. Same with the twenty dollar bill that started this thread. Creased bills are not an option for me. Devil's face or not, creased bills are for spending.
