BM Kingswood New Castle Sale: anyone win any lots?

ohbaby

I see alot of material went back to their consignors. Especially the pre 1913 halves. The two reeded edge halves didn't sell and they got strong money given how ugly they were. Market is not THAT strong!

The 1797 Sheldon S-123, B-12. 4-. MS-65 RB (PCGS) went for $26k despite a major reed mark to the face! Ouch! Nice coin otherwise but that mark was a turnoff, I don't care how rare ir nice the rest of the coin is.

Anyone win any lots? I bid on one coin which did not sell. Would have bid more but there were only 10 gold coins in the auction.

Yep, I think I won about 7 or 8 coins. I'll know for sure tomorrow, their site isn't very good for following up on results.

The Prices Realized results are available on the B & M site.

I bid on several Buffalos but did not meet the reserve price and the lots did not sell. It appears that some of the reserves on the Buffalos were unrealistic. Nice coins but not that nice. I did not see them in person so perhaps I'm missing something.

I won one lot I was bidding on, an IHC. Hopefully Shylock will post a thread with some interesting pictures of it, we both thought it to be a special coin. I bid on one other coin but didn't meet its reserve, a 64 red 1891 IHC.

I went through that catalog in a heartbeat. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the "market", or the content of the auction. I didn't bid on much, and wasn't too excited to try and find something to bid on.
