Live auction this evening
I attended a live auction this evening in San Marcos. I picked up
eight common Morgans at a bargain price. They are bright coins (AU to low 60's) that will probably be very good for someone starting a collection. The only coin that may be worth slabbing is an uncirculated 1880-O. Somehow I also came home with a Washington commemorative uncirculated and a 1960 Franklin proof. Not worth much, but then I didn't pay much. I really like the Washington commemorative. The horse steals the obverse. The coin has a couple of tiny scratches, though it is still in the envelope and box. Otherwise it is a beauty. It was enjoyable to be on the floor with some local eBay sellers and collectors. I tried to stop Dennis from buying an Ike, but it was of no use. We now have another Ike -- this one in a case. He also bought a near-perfect series of Magic Johnson cards, so it looks like I'll be eBaying some sports cards soon. I was lucky that the Morgans and other coins were at the start of the auction. There were few people bidding, so I was able to get the coins for a scrap of change. Bidding got crazy as the night wore on. People started bidding far more than the coins were worth. The auctioneer was pointing at me, asking if I wanted to bid large amounts for 1922, 1923, and 1924 Peace dollars. No, uh-uh. However, there was one very well struck raw MS63 1924 Peace that was so well struck that I did want it. It looked very close to high relief. Anita |
