At the weekly coin auction

Just started going about a month ago...25-30 nice guys vest pocket dealers and all...
Bought a 1913-S nickel rolled and elongated - on the obverse 1915 and Tower of Jewels - on the reverse you can faintly see thy bison, mound, mmark and most of the lettering. Probably ripped myself paid $25 but I really like it and I bought it as a collectable. If anyone has info about this [or a reference] I'd appreciate the help. Unfortunately I'm computer challenged and don't yet know how to post a scan.
Wish I was up to date on silver coins: some coins in auction and prices realized
40-D dime NGC-67 $56 [blast white]
49-S half PCGS 65? $100
really, really nice BU set of Franklins in Dansco Album $340
15 Morgans PCGS 63 green label all blast white $28 apiece for the lot [these dollars looked better than usual so I bought them]
and bunch of other neat coins. In the past bought most of my coins at major auctions or major/regional shows but had more fun at this auction than the ANA...couple of kids there anybody with $10 could have purchased some neat stuff. Does anyone go to a weekly auction? is this typical? Speaking as an old-timer this is the way it used to be.

Those local auctions can be fun (and habit forming).
