    Interesting - it would appear that all 8 austrian talers were bid entirely by floor bidders (as opposed to internet bidders). I suspect a 'floor bidder' also includes advanced bids executed by goldberg on behalf of fax/mail/phone bidders. Prices look like they were generally near estimates. I was watching these 2 in particular:
    1777 salzburg
    1700 salzburg

    Lots of lower-than-average prices in some surprising areas. I'm regretting not bidding on a couple myself. image

    Well, the 2 reales I was eyeing went for WAY higher than I would have bid...

    they were stunning coins though. wish I had that kind of scratch.

    Well, I guess I won't be owning either lot 4403 or 4404.....image

    Were these the 2 reales you mentioned? Absolutely stunning! I considered bidding (based on the estimate), but now I see that I would not have been in the ballpark.
    1761
    1737

    those are the ones!

    I also considered bidding... I thought the estimates were about right, in those cases.

    I can't believe what the 61 sold for. that's ridiculous money. The peru 2 reale went for higher.

    Yes, but the 1761 is one of the most attractive coins I've ever seen in my life!! image Wow, it's stunning.

    no doubt about it - it is pretty stunning.

    Still, for that amount... I would never have thought it would bring over a grand.

    I am curious as to what some of you all think about the prices realized and perhaps the number of coins that may not have sold. It seems that high end quality is doing well and then there is everything else which does not seem to be moving well.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    I admit the question of market "softness" has gone through my mind, but I am glad it is not being discussed here like it is in 5 out of every 10 US forum threads. I think a slowdown in prices and activity is probably welcome by many on this forum. Granted, it might slow the arrival of new coins on the market, but perhaps it will cool the price explosions in some areas of the darkside.

    I only have one datapoint on the market - the coin I bid on. It sold for well over catalogue and higher than estimate.
