New Record at Heritage Auction

badger

I didn't buy anything at the Heritage Auction - that's a new record for me!?!

I was outbid on every proof Linc, Jeff and Washie that I was eyeing. I couldn't get in touch via computer or phone to check the status of the bids.

See what happens when you let work get in the way of collecting.

Badger,
Well, your record didn't last long - I didn't buy anything either. We're tied And I wasn't just "outbid" on several of those dcam wheatback Lincolns. Tie Broken There were some very strong prices. $2760 for the 1958 PR67DCam! WoW! Even $1610 for the 1956 PR67DCam was more than I was prepared to bid. Comparatively (and maybe absolutely), the 1957 PR67DCam at $2070 would seem a bargain. I wish I could have seen them in person.

However, the real reason I'm writing is because I wondered if you had received the 1951 PR66DCam Jefferson you bought on eBay. I suspect it is impressive. Do you have an image of it? If I hadn't gotten called into an "important meeting" that lasted "too long", you would have paid a few more nickels for it Work getting in the way of collecting...

Koolkarma,

I'm picking up the 51 tomorrow. I am anxious to get a look at it.

I agree with you on the Heritage sale. I thought the 1957 67Dcam sold too low. I knew I had entered a higher bid. Heritages software was messed up and didn't take the bids. The software is fixed now but the coin is bye-bye.

I missed the 1961 Lincoln 69DCam last year at FUN. This is my second miss on that coin. Rats.
