I bid half of this winning bid

auction I really like AU58s in general, and these coins are no exception, but is 1885-S such a good date as to drive the price so high? Is this stupid-money? Am I missing something?
I collect circulated U.S. silver

    Perhaps the winning bidder will crack them and sell as MS 63's, just a guess-------BigE

    Hmmm..... I notice he's telling us that because a coin is in a PCGS holder that it's never been cleaned.

    I've got news for him.

    Still, I wouldn't have paid that much for those coins. I suppose somebody else is seeing crackout profits.

    I suspect the buyer is in for an expensive surprise. They might get a break on the New Orleans, but San Fran coins are sharp from the get go. They probably are AU and nothing more. Just wait till they get a grade of AU 50 or 55 when expecting a 63. image
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    The guy (winner) doesn't win much, I think he was just jones'n for a win. This is stupid money, even if they do upgrade (for $90 in fees).
