2009 has led us with the economic crisis, a poised increase in the Fedral Gas Tax, corrupt politicians, and much more. However, there is one thing positive coming from all of this. We are getting penny auctions to kick off the New Year it seems. A couple websites have listed true Penny Auctions for challenge coins and this is something that breaks our normal thinking when it comes to picking up some beauties for our coin racks. This could be something big to celebrate as it’s an introduction into some really great deals. Gone are the days eBay auctions started at $.99 and many sure miss picking up some of those.

So how do you find these great deals? As coin collectors, Google is a big part of the search and find that many seem to not include in the system of collecting. Why is this? Do most collectors just bend to the will of eBay and hope they will get great coins? The reality is there is more to it than just that. We are helping you to branch out a little and explore some great alternatives. So where are this penny auctions? Here is the road map for you:

These are some of the best auction sites coming into the market recently that are a gold mine waiting to happen. Take the first one for example which emphsizes challenge coins and only such with minor variations to pins, patches and the like. You can not get that anywhere else. Would you be foolish to skip out of it, nah…but you would be missing some great stuff from the niche. Anyways, don’t miss out on this years penny auctions and walk away with some great coins that in the future will be worth a lot of money.
