JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 3:27 pm I do a lot of bidding on Proxibid attempting to win silver or gold coins at or below melt value including the buyers premium. Believe it or not, I win more than you would think. I have gotten many great deals on Proxibid doing this but here is one of my latest deals. Silver still has to go up just a bit to put me in the black intrinsically, but the numismatic value has got this $2 Coin covered, lol. BTW.....I'm a numismatist, although I frequently buy coins based on their melt value, I have never sold a coin based on it. So feel free to post some of the greatest deals you have been lucky enough to get recently! Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 5:22 pm Not a silver coin, but I plucked this one from a tray of "junk" world coins at a small club show earlier this year. As part of the group I selected, I calculate it cost me well under $1. Certainly not pristine, but if was to attain an EF grade, it'd presently "book" at £300 (almost $450). And it wasn't even the only obvious bargain in that bunch I cherrypicked, although it certainly was the most astounding. 1831 William IV Penny (".W.W" Variety) Colligo ergo sum Edited by Lucky Cuss 03/05/2018 6:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 03/06/2018 06:47 am My likely best deal ever is another bargain bin find... Bohemia, 1/4 Kipper-Kreuzer, KM#280, 1622 (probably; the 22 should be at 11-12 hours). When this type sells on auctions (admittedly usually in better quality), the prices are apparently in the hundreds of dollars. I got mine for about $1.70 from a bargain bin. Really should make a better photo, by the way (and this time I'll know how to attribute it on Numista). Report this Post to the Staff
JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 03/06/2018 09:31 am Both are very nice finds indeed! My LCS has a large treasure chest full of foreign coins sold by the pound that I've had some very good luck cherrypicking from. The owner barely looks for silver coins (as I have found many) much less coins that have a high numismatic value. I found a 1926 Greenland 25 Ore, 1909 Kiau Chau 10 cents, and an interesting Indian Head cent that had BOSS stamped into the reverse that just happened to be a full date 1877 that I sold on the Bay for $100!
