Sunday afternoon Auction

 

Well just got back from a Coin Auction up here in Mn there was about 1 hour to view the coins then the bidding started They had a lot of slab coins ranging from Morgans,Walkers,Franklin and 1 Kennedy. plus a ton of raw coins,also a few complets sets such as Ike, Kennedys. well it was a good turn out and the way people were looking at the slab I figure I have a hard time getting bargains.The few morgans that were bought sold for half of FMV ex an 81cc ms65,83cc65 I bidded on a few coins a couple prestige sets 93,97 but they went past my bid we all have a limite I went for 3 coins 2 Franklins and a Kennedy well I got 2 1 Franklin FBL and a 1966 Kennedy MS 66sms Cameo at less then half fmv. had a great time.and meet a couple of very intresting people.

Lane,

It is good to see that you are out and having a great time so soon after the hip replacement. Look forward to pics of those great deals you hammered on.

 

Later----Rick

I'm jealous. I wish I could find some of those small town auctions with coins at them....sounds like a blast.

 

Question. Do you have to pay a buyers fee? if so, how much is it- a percent or is it a flat rate....thanks, Jackson

No buyers fee.so it's a good deal. also they server us a free lunch of pulled pork sandwiches and all the sides. so yes it was a great time 2nd time I went to the same Auctioneer.

Yep got a few here in SC. A enjoyable hang out with the regulars on the back porch with refreshments---- a quick viewing after a chat and pay the hammer price when you leave.----NO EXTRA COSTS-----Home town versus Heritage and Teletrade--GREAT.
