    My vote is Yes.

    What a beauty, but already past my budget (by quite a lot) LOL.

    My current budget ...

    I noticed this at the bottom of the article. It might be worthwhile for this guy to contact slick and see if he can get his coin some love 😍

    If it’s going to 1 mil, I can bid $600k for fun and not win right?

    I bid the 1913 Liberty nickel in the Eliasberg sale knowing full well I would be blown out of the water. But I was a valid underbidder. Could do the same here, but nah.

    If $800k+ does't include the juice, it is already over a million or very close.

    @HoledandCreative the bid amount you see does not include the juice.
    Currently the high bid is $810K

    Also, since the OP didn't say with or without the juice - I believe the bid amount will exceed $1,000,000

    Likewise, you didn’t say whether by “bid amount”, you meant with or without the juice.
    Ideally, if not typically, distinctions are made between the winning “hammer price” amount/bid vs. the winning total price amount/bid (including the buyer’s premium).
