The auction results will definitely be interesting - there are coins being offered from multiple mints/countries. The hammer prices should provide insights into more than just RCM products. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

I won a single item and with the commission fee saved myself over $45 versus paying the original issue price.
Wasn't expecting to get it that cheap $179 vs $225. Give it another 6-12 months and the same item will fetch $150.00. No too worried as I bought the items because it fit into my royalty/fractional silver collection and don't intend to sell it anytime soon.
Plenty of items went for 50-60%, some way over what the unique deals were going for! Definitely a buyer's market right now.

I placed bids on two items (the Queen Mother and Two Loons Canadian silver dollars but lost both to the one bidder after me. What hurt is that I had to place my bid the day before because I had to leave home at 5:00am Sunday on a trip and was unable to place any bids on Sunday. Hopefully the next time I can be in front of my computer at 'time-out' time. I still enjoyed the chance to win. It's the first 'auction' I've ever participated in (aside from the normal ebay bidding) and I still feel funny about not really knowing the final costs until after the bidding is over. |

When I bought this coin - Two Loons - (from Canada Post), it was on it's peak. Hot. But when decided to sell, the interest was very low, just few bids, and after fees I got 50% of what I've paid.

Remember when the Parasaurolophus coin was $300-$400? You can find them for $40 or less now.

I ended up buying the "Two Loons" dollar last night on ebay for much lower than my losing bid on Sunday was for. Now I'm delighted I lost the auction!  Actually, I should take at least a year off of coin buying as it's not helping my ever-increasing debt. The 25% interest each month is killing me. PS: I drove out to Colonial Acres two weeks ago and found it to be a pretty nice place to shop. I picked up several items that are hard to find here in Detroit, and at decent pricing. At this time I fully recommend shopping there.  Edited by atticguy
