Quite a number of nice coins offered. Unfortunately, many of them had high reserves and didn't sell. There is a real paucity of top grade MS coins. Many of those offered were so-so at best and in the 64-65 range, RB coins called red, etc. Viewing in person was a must.
Interesting prices were:
5216 - Called 1856 Snow 3, really the common S9, 12K
5239 - Called 1856 S9, really a rare S4, 11K
5245 - 1858 P67 - didn't meet reserve (DMR)
5246 - Wow coin, 1858 SL 66 cameo, I think it met reserve at about 78K
5255 - 1860 ponited bust, best of the 3 offered, $5500 (just happened to be my consignment
)
5249 - monster 1859 in a 64 holder - bought it.
5280 - 1866 MS66R sold for 1/2 what it should have - color??
5320 - 1876 66R - Epstein coin - DMR
5364 - 8K - strong price for a not-very-attractive coin
5365 - same, DMR at opening bid 7750
The only proofs I found exciting were some purple coins, lots 5471, 5472 and 5478. Lot 5472 was the best and sold for an eye popping hammer of $2100! These have been fetching prices 7-800 recently. If you have some of these, take note!
Some great patterns being offered today by Superior. Looking forward to strong prices there too.

The 1866 PCGS 66RD went unsold over two years ago in a B&M sale.
Wish I could have seen the WOW coin (1858 SL CAM), the image is unreal.
I couldn't believe the 2K prices for some of those PR66BN coins!
