Did anyone win anything from the latest Fred Weinberg auction at Heritage?

Heritage auctioned off another 125 coins from Fred's personal collection earlier this week. Unfortunately I was not available to bid live, so my proxy bids ended up getting completely smoked on the better material, but I did get these two smaller errors for well under my max bids:
1976 cent with a small incomplete clip, PCGS 64RB
1995 cent with double clips, NGC 64RD
The 1995 will get cracked out for my date set, but the 1976 is in one of the special Fred Weinberg Collection holders and will remain there for as long as I own the coin.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

I won 2 small errors that I thought were reasonably priced and reasonably interesting.
Apparently the serial numbers are covered up by the CLCT stickers so I can not access the images on PCGS
Here is a screenshot of one that the OP will like for sure .....
I was after a few of the incomplete clips, that one is particularly nice. I was kicking myself when I saw what the cleaned 1970-D sample sold for, as I would have absolutely bid higher had I been online. If you won that one and want to flip it for a small profit, let me know

I won this one (MS65RB) as well ....
Were they Three Cent Silvers or Gold Dollars?

Lol. Almost that small...
JM you outbid me on that coin.
I would have bid much higher if the grade was not MS61

It definitely wasn't the prettiest coin in that auction but it is interesting and didn't cost much money.
For the dime, to be uniface doesn't there have to be a capped die as well?
No, it was struck with a blank planchet.
Or that. Lol. Makes sense. I guess. So we would only call the die capped if the planchet sticks.
The auction ended while I was flying home from visiting my daughter and I won none of the the lots I was interested in.
