    So far, I haven't been able to buy anything all year. It's very discouraging.

    And just won this flashy Pillar 8R last night in the Stack's Bowers auction....

    I watched the auction last night, saw that lot come up, said, "Wow!" and watched it go off to the races. Congrats!

    No kidding. The pre-auction estimate got left back in another time zone pretty fast with that one.

    Don't you just hate to buy from dealers who outbid their clients?

    That said, for this coin, I would have!

    It's looking like it's going to be a year filled with numismatic eye candy given all of the beautiful coins already purchased, and we're just in January.
