Thread: Boston Area Workshops/Classes

Most coins "still in circulation" have little value, even if they are pretty old, unless there is some flaw in it from the stamping process.  (there is a copper penny, made the year that steel pennies came out, that is VERY rare, since most pennies that year were steel).  The steel ones are out there, and although you may think they are worth a lot, they aren't really.  They are,...

Ha ha. Sad, but true.

ha, that's true. My dad gave me about 30 silver dimes, 20 silver quarters, 3 silver half dollars, and a silver dollar. He also had many war nickels, proofs, about 346 wheat pennies, and some other stuff. That's an auction though. That could shoot up to 5 bucks. I prefer Buy it now items

You could try browsing ebay - put loads of coins that interest you on "watch" on a parental account, then they can choose to buy whatever does not go beyond their budget.  A quick look at the ancient coin section reveals a huge range of prices, from a few cents to many thousands of dollars. You won't know what (exactly) you are getting, but you will know you will like it, since you put it on the list.

There's two secrets to winning auctions. One is apathy, bif what you're willing to pay and just forget about, if you don't win, meh! The second is use a "sniper program" to enter you max bid 2 secs before the auction ends.  This is more successful.
