I have heard that the SD MB's are very competitive so I was very surprised to bring home this 33-108 P58CAC in Rattler OGH.
It is the first PCGS Rattler that I have owned so I will welcome the old Lady in the old Holder into my small collection. The slab photo is pre-CAC trip so the sticker is missing. It was a wild few weeks at the end of 2023 and 2024 is starting out the same.

Nice coin! Congratulations! I was outbid on the flashy 1822.

I liked that one too. Didn’t bid though. Lost out on 3 others but not by much.

Nice catch!
Congrats!!
You too? I'm already kicking myself for not going higher. Still, picked up the 1819/8 I needed for my set.
Which flashy '22? I counted five '22's in the auction. I won one of them.
Which 19/8 did you get Fluffy?

Yes there were a lot of 22s, I assumed he was referring to the prooflike MS62. I picked up the AU58/CAC, I really like that look:
Good looking coin @fluffy155
Yeah, that PL '22 was something, for sure
I was lucky enough to win this one

That's a nice pickup! I almost always participate in his auctions but usually end up empty handed. This time I made up for it and won all 3 of these, all PCGS XF-45 CAC.

Looks like we each got something. Glad to see it spread around like that.
Can’t wait for MB58. I’ll be in Chicago to actually handle the coins then.

Sheridan does a great job on the auction and offers great coins.
All wonderful busties
Congratulations to all
Congrats to everyone with their new purchases! Looks like the big boy gave up on Downey's auctions, gave an opportunity for everyone else to buy.
