I am fortunate to have a smaller local monthly coin auction. For the size of the auction he pulls in some amazing coins. I really went today with the hopes of adding the 1857 pr62bn 1/2 cent that was being auctioned to my collection. That didn't happen, so I went down the rabbit hole and started bidding on the things no one wanted. I ended up with some pretty interesting items that will probably end up in the bottom of my safe waiting for a day to go through them. So here is what I ended up with.
1946, 1947, 1948 BU
Roosevelt dimes. These will go into my 3rd dansco album.
final bid $8.00
168 random token/medals
final bid $1.68
2 bicentennial brass medals in first day covers cancelled stamps July 4 1975. final bid $1.00
1979 Susan B Anthony 3 piece set. final bid $2.75
1973s brown box Ike nice toning starting. final bid $9.50
7 piece littleton Sac dollar set. final bid $6.00
15 random arcade tokens. final bid $1.00
1 roll BU 1943 cent & 1 roll random date BU 30s-50s
Wheat cent. final bid $3.00
9 rolls of 1958 BU/red wheat cents. Wonder if a
DDO is hidden in them. final bid $30.00
1/20oz Australian year of the monkey gold coin. final bid $85.00
Basically everything I picked up was at face or well below bid. The best part is everyone knows everyone and it's a good time messing around with people bidding. The one dealer was going against a left bid he was gonna let the left bidder win so I gave him the extra two bucks to win the item. Not your typical auction behavior, but everyone there is on a first name basis and we are all friends so to speak.
