Did you see all the Goetz medals in the upcoming Stacks mail bid auction?!

Ach! What a collection!

cacheman · February 10, 2004 4:17PM

I'm still waiting for my copy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cosmicdebris · February 10, 2004 7:06PM

I too am waiting for my copy. I hope I get it in time to bid.

cosmicdebris · February 11, 2004 5:25AM

Holy CHIT! My Catalog came today. So many Goetz pieces!!!!! Pattern coins too

laurentyvan · February 11, 2004 5:30AM

Now Cosmic, get a grip-no one is going to take them away from you (going to be able to take them from you that is).

cosmicdebris · February 11, 2004 6:45AM

Mine mine mine! All mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The C-man can have the medals I want the pattern coins.

trozau · February 11, 2004 7:02AM

Anybody care to post scans?

cosmicdebris · February 11, 2004 7:12AM

There are over 40 pages of Goetz medals and patterns.

trozau · February 11, 2004 7:13AM

Is K-10 listed?

cosmicdebris · February 11, 2004 7:29AM

One K-10 is listed.

Anyone ever bid in one of these mail bid auctions before? How do I register with Stack's to bid? Or can I just mail in the bid sheet?

I know at least two guys who are in seventh heaven.

trozau · February 11, 2004 7:30AM

cast or struck?

cosmicdebris · February 11, 2004 7:35AM

Struck Bronze 79.5 mm Choice AU Smooth Brown-gold

cacheman · February 11, 2004 7:36AM

I'm still waiting...I'm not even sure I will bid this go around as I need to save $$ for my upcoming Germany venture where, I am sure, I will be able to see pieces first hand before purchase or bidding. The most import information this auction will reveal is the prices realized which will finally give me a current baseline value on a large lot of medals and patterns. Something like this hasn't occured with a Goetz auction since 1983 and as you would surmise, the prices are very outdated.

trozau · February 11, 2004 7:38AM

Can you post a scan of that one?

cosmicdebris · February 11, 2004 7:42AM

No image for K-10

Scott I agree we deffinately need a new baseline for all these pieces. I am going to bid on 2 lots. K79 Austria 1 Krone Pattern, 1914 & K78C 25 Pfennig 1908.

trozau · February 11, 2004 7:43AM

K. Thanks.

cacheman · February 11, 2004 8:00AM

That's a crock...they want you to mail in bids on coins and medals you cannot view....I'm sorry but that is too large of a leap of faith for me. That is even more assinine than having a catalog full of stock photo's and expect people to bid....

cosmicdebris · February 11, 2004 8:48AM

You can go to New York to view the lots starting Feb 17th. Stock photos? Not all lots have images but those that do are of the actual lots. No stock photos.

cacheman · February 11, 2004 9:11AM

I wasn't saying Stacks was using stock photos...other auction houses do but both practices are worthless to people who can't pre-visit the lots. God, in this day and age you'd think they would go 100% digital to reach the largest audience possible.

spoon · February 11, 2004 9:27AM

No weblink?! But I wanna drool

cosmicdebris · February 11, 2004 9:46AM

True it does seam odd to MAIL your bids in.

There are some lots I want to bid on, but I don't think I'll be able to fly to New York to check them out ahead of time.
