    As long as it takes. The more bidding activity, the longer the auction.

    I never made a prediction.

    You did in fact say 70s would far exceed $20k. Several times.

    @coiner said:
    Remember @njcoin - you had MOON money on the 70's ----far exceeding 20k per coin for everything.

    So, if we play this like the Price is Right - lets see who is closer without going over :)

    No. Please don't put words in my mouth. Never said "far exceeding" $20K per coin for everything.

    I said $20-50K, and I'm sticking with that. Even if some 69s don't quite get to $20K, and that's an open question.

    Doesn't matter if they break $15K, given that you are still, stubbornly below $10K, even after seeing the bids right now. No way you are going to see 70s below $20K. I can't believe you don't see that now, but you will in around 13 hours, so it's all good.

    For the record, moon money IS $20-50K, given they are modern issues with around $2700 worth of gold in them. Especially when you were predicting $7-9K for all of them, including 70s (other than the "special numbers"), not just the lowest of the 69s, when I was at $20-50K.

    Even now you're drawing false confidence from the fictional Greysheet numbers, thinking generic 70s will top out at $12.5K. You are going to be off by A LOT. Especially as compared to me, even if every 69 doesn't make it all the way to $20K, and you try to make a big deal out of that, because "Price is Right" rules.

    And some will. By a lot. Others by less.

    I STILL believe no 70s will sell for less than $20K. If you are going to want to poke holes, and quibble about what "far exceed" means, have at it. $20K establishing the bottom of a range certainly does not imply that all coins will "far exceed" it. Otherwise, that number would have just been set "far" higher.

    I gave a range. I'm sticking to it. $20-50K. I said #1 would "far exceed" $100K. I haven't received any pats on the back over that one yet, and it's the only one where anyone has been proven right or wrong to date.

    Please stop twisting. I predicted a range - $20-50K for 70s. Maybe a little less for 69s, but far more than the $6-8K, later revised to $7-9K, called for by others. "Far exceed" is subjective. Some will, others won't.

    A few days ago I also predicted some like you would just say I'm a broken clock who happened to be right this time, and that's fine. I called for these to go for far more than most here believed.

    It is turning out that I was correct. I don't need you to acknowledge it, because I know it, you know it, and plenty of people following along at home, but not posting, know it. It's all good.

    No 70 is going to close below $20K. Some will "far exceed" that level. Others will exceed it by less. 69s will "far exceed" $7-9K. They already have. Maybe they get to $20K, maybe not. I don't think I ever predicted, or guaranteed, that they would.

    You said 70s would never hit $20K, because these are not part of a series like the V75 AGEs are. I was right. You were wrong. It doesn't matter to me whether or not you can bring yourself to admit it.

    Nope. They are doing the smart thing and signing up latecomers. Their job is to maximize revenue for the Mint. Not to stick to a schedule. Given the feeding frenzy, it looks like the exact opposite of a "Fail."

    Sorry. As soon as I posted that, I went back to check whether it was you or one of my other fans, and I can't find the posts(s). I'll edit out the reference to you.

    I'm wondering why PCGS mounted these Privy coins with the Reverse up instead of the obverse? What's special about these coins is the Privy, why wouldn't you want that on the front of the slab?

    Worst case, @coiner will always be willing to take anyone out at $6K. 🤣🤣🤣

    The future is anyone's guess, but anyone messing around at these prices, looking for an eBay flip, is playing with fire.

    Nope. But, to me, there is no difference between #2 and #202. Some people just have a thing for numbers. As with the Dusk and Dawn, the first and last sold for huge premiums over the others.

    Wouldn't surprise me if #1 and #230 were purchased by the same person.

    Right on cue, and exactly as I predicted some would comment. Looks like I am now batting 1.000, at least with respect to the auction and my fan club's immediate reaction.

    Thank you for not disappointing. Don't want you to EVER feel as though you are being left out of any conversation involving me. 🤣😂

    I bet with all that talk, NJCoin will not be a bidder on even one of the coins.

    Lots of talk, but not walking the walk.

    What walk am I not walking? The one where I cannot afford to spend $20K plus on a single coin?

    I never said I could or would. You guys are the ones doing a lot of talking, as though you will be buying anything anywhere close to either side of $10K, or successfully engaging in so-called "retail arbitrage."

    You are just going to be blown away with your bids, and left shaking your heads. Claiming that I am nothing more than the broken clock who happened to be right this time. I can't wait. 😀

    It was a clerical error and actually sold for $34,000. I felt #154 was one of the nicer remaining examples in the True Views. Every coin after #181 had some reverse die issues with tiny mark above the eagle wing tip and two tiny marks on the bottom.
