Did Anyone Else Get Anything From the A.N.R. Auction?

Didn't see any posts about it. a) Either prices are softening, b) I am interested in material that no one else wants (doubt that one, I've been slammed bidding in too many other auctions this year)
c) Everyone spent their money at ANA & the related auctions.

Picked up a Shield Nickel for 25% less than one sold @ a Heritage Auction at the same grade (it's an NGC MS 66 type coin, but there's maybe a 5% spread for the coin re PCGS & NGC Pricing). Also got an 1888 Half in PC 6. Normally this year especially, people have gone ape*** for this kind of coin, so I was shocked that I actually won it.

If I can figure out how to post images, will do so tomorrow.

    I didn't get anything in the mail. I used to but maybe they took me off the list since I didn't buy anything from them.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    Rough sale for me to buy from although did good in selling.

    1797 2hd in VF for 29K
    1834 2hd in AU for 35 and change ( including the juice)
    Gave away the copper twenty though. Someone bought that really right.

    Everything that I bid on got out-bid by one increment. It's getting frustrating (I know that I am in the ballpark in terms of bids, seeing that the coins don't eventually sell for a ton more than what I bid).

    Nice coin, Andy.

    This thread is definite evidence that ANR has the best auction photography!

    Nice coins all of you got there at ANR.

    I noted that much more than the usual number of ANR lots did not sell. I did not have the time to study why. Quality issues? Bidder fatique? Reserves too high? Watching too many Presidential debates? Everyone saving their money in hoping to win the 1933 $10?

    Comments? Opinions?

    Can anyone tell me what lot #1401 sold for?

    Of course the reserves were too high. The question is WHY the reserves were too high. I don't know the answer.

    Neat coins, guys. There will be some happy customers!

    Andy, I've always found the proof Large and Half Cents to be stunning, especially the ones with some red in them. They're always been a bit 'rich' for my wallet, though. That is one gorgeous Large Cent!

    BTW, of the coins that did sell, many went to mail and internet bidders, which I find to be most unusual.
