I could buy lots of stuff there. i think we'd see more kids at the shows if we did things like that. Bruce |

Bruce I'm curious why a local auction company doesn't jump in and fill the void. In the Pittsburgh there are two or three auctions companies that work with local collectors and dealers. I've been looking over the lots in the ANA auction. I don't think I'll take any home but I'm having fun and learning a lot by just looking. Some of the higher grade coins look better in the catalog than they do in your hand. http://cgi.liveauctions.ebay.com/ws/...tem=2262255921 The spots in the left of the obverse field is much more pronounced than the picture shows and the Deep Cameo isn't any better than the Cameos in the same box.

With a low auction rights fee from the ANA I think this arrangement could make money. If the ANA did a survey about this I'll bet it would get a very large "yes" response. |

A UK auction house, I forget which one, has auctions of lower value
coins called "Argentum" auctions, I think, they have proved to be very popular. I suppose they reckon that "Argentum" auction sound better than "cheap coins" auction. :-) Billy Bruce Hickmott wrote: On Tue, 17 Aug 2004 09:06:42 -0400, "Bruce Remick" is alleged to have written: "Bruce Hickmott" wrote in message .. .

If you remember the name of that auction house then be sure to let me know.
