Treasure Hunters

Everyone badmouths the Treasure Hunters Roadshow for lowballing unsuspecting sellers into parting with their heirlooms too cheaply. I'm not here to defend or attack their business plan.
I just want to say that, if you bid on their subsequent auctions on ebay under their 24 different account names, you can sometimes come up with some good deals, price-wise and... once in a
great while, a real score.

I'll buy junk silver in whatever denomination, whichever type, as long as I can get it 1X below face. Did that last week and purchased forty Barber dimes for $84. Apparently, they get such a
high volume of material through their receiving rooms that they can't individually inspect each and every coin they subsequently list on ebay. I suspect they must pull high-grade coins with
nice luster and sell them to coin shops, as I don't see any listings of this sort from their sites. Someone dropped the ball on this one, because when I inspected the coins, along with what you
would expect - slicks, holed, worn, and a few in AG3 to AG8 condition... I found a darkly-toned 1892 in probably XF45 condition! Woohoo! This is easily a $30 dime. :mrgreen:
