For the right coins, you can still fill an auction room! Tonight, at the StacksBowers sale of the Pat Johnson collection. Some wild prices, some really good values, and a lot of fun!

    _ For the right coins, you can still fill an auction room!_

    That’s a bit of a stretch, especially in such a small room, don’t you think? But I totally agree with the title of the thread! @MrEureka keep your social distances , some of us still need you alive! 😇

    It wasn't me. I saw Dan drop out at 210K when he realized he was on the wrong lot.

    Apparently he won lot 2076 at a bargain price!

    That bald guy looks like me from the back !?

    Patterns seem rather hot now so I will show this one...

    Silver proof pattern for Popayan, Colombia, 8 reales, 1849, plain edge, medal axis, rare, NGC PF 64, finest known in NGC census. Restrepo-unl (cf. 64, p. 172); KM-Pn21. 21.01 grams; 34mm. Sharp strike, beautifully toned over strong luster with minimal marks, numerically superior to the Eldorado examples in PCGS SP62 that hammered for as much as $9500 in 2018. Restrepo calls this type lettered edge (and only Bogota) in error, as all examples we have seen (from both mints) are plain edge. NGC #5931969-014. Pedigreed to the Nueva Granada collection (stated on label).

    Beautiful coin! Congratulations.

    One sold a few moments ago for 6600$ at HA. So I would say the 1732 4 reales is a 6500$ to 8500$ coin in authentic depending on the day.

    I think that is because of the discount the market assigned due to the consignor
