While this certainly happens in some auctions (house bidding), I do NOT believe that this ever happens at Great Collections or Heritage Auctions. The auctioneer or owner can set an opening bid, and there may be a minimum sale value at Heritage Auctions on some high end items.

edit: I also frequently bid at DLRC and I would include them in the ethical group that does not do house bids.

HA specifies in the TOS that they reserve the right to bid on any lot.

To each their own I guess. If you like it that's all that matters.

It dont look to terribly bad. I kinda like it

Really like the nickel.

I would guess taped to a piece of paper/cardboard, or taped in an album so it wouldn't fall out.

Particularly love the V nickel . I’m in the process of moving on from my V nickel set, and this pieces brings back very fond memories of building the set.

Love the V nickel and bust half.

Next to impossible to render an objective opinion with no pictures. My years of searching has proven that what seems to be frost through the cello is actually hazed brilliant surfaces. As a prolific searcher of these you have proven you have a good eye, but as a prolific submitter you have proven that PCGS rarely assigns Cam/Deep Cameo to any coins you submit.

My hunch is that you have a group of nice sets which contain mostly choice coins but perhaps only a couple that would grade Cameo.

Keep them.
