Congrats... I was watching part of the Canadian auction live... an MS65 1956 Dollar went for more than I thought...

Don't talk to me about Heritage NYINC I put an absentee bid on a lot and the floor took it for the same as my bid because of their crap system. I can't believe that someone can bid the same as your bid and you loose if you don't raise it. Where's earliest bid wins

That shouldn't be....I know for a fact that during the pre-bidding via the Internet someone had an identical bid on a lot which I "sniped" at the last second, and their system informed me that I had been outbid (same amount as I). The other bidder did have the prior bid and he/she know owns the coin!!!!

I put all my money in one bid and lost.

You should have used some of Syracusian's money.

...viewing the 18th century Italian coins - some of them are horrifying!

Blown out on the '68 florin which (not just sour grapes) went for crazy money when comped to other pieces recently sold.

I was going for all of the three four-piece gold Britannia sets. I only won the '87 (the one I least wanted to win based on case condition and mintages) but it was only about $70 over melt, so it's all good. I was the underbidder on the other two (the '93 and '02). Still got it for $200 less than I see it sell for on eBay.

5 bids, 5 losses.

Big lustre on that one....bigger hammer.

I fear my meager florin collection may go wanting after that one set the bar.

That 1868 florin is an awesome piece. It's the best example I have seen pictured.

I didn't win it, but I did go two for two and filled date holes.

I see that the 1860 copper halfpenny sold at last, for $11.5k. Mac, did you raid your petty cash for that one?

'Fraid not. I'm mostly a business strike kinda guy. For that amount though (or maybe a little less), I'd compromise and take a PF68DCAM Gothic Crown with the same colours as my Coronation piece.

I checked the rules. They took my bid as the opening offer which was far above the suggested starting price, it was then matched on the floor and the floor wins I noticed that when I won a lot at torex it was for my max bid. We don't do it like that here in the UK, we operate similar to ebay in that you have a starting price and so can win at below your max bid.

Fills a nice hole in the collection.

Previously owned by some guy named Eliasburg.

In hindsight I should have put a few cheap bids on a few SA coins.

Most of them went for steals - certainly in stark contrast to the Remick Auction last year.

The 1893 Pond MS63 went for a small fortune though - over $6,000.

Edit: Just to add that I didn't put on any bids because I was short of cash after purchasing the SA Proofs which I had posted on these threads.

Thanks 'kat, se82, and shiro.

Nice lookers 'hound, se82, syracusian, and filam.

Condolences to those who went O-fer.

I placed 2 bids, totaling $1850 for an estimated high of $950 in coins. I was the first place loser on both.
Hindsight being what it is, I wish I had placed all my money on just the one coin I really, really, really wanted and completed my Prussian 3 mark series. Sigh... I'll get one someday (I hope, knock on wood).
The sorry first place loser...
LOL,
Rick
