Just about everything in that auction went for well over bid and I had to pay about $50 more than I
wanted to but I really like it.

Switzerland. Medal, 1886. Silver. 43.2 mm. By Hugues Bovy SC. Fifth centenary of the Battle of Sempach. Beautifully toned. Uncirculated.
Estimated Value $100 - 150.

    Wow! Very nice looking medal, John.
    I tried to win a few lots from that auction only to come up pitifully short on what I thought were strong bids,

    I tried for the 1953 PL set even though the cent-PL 67red-had developed a bad spot right on the portrait, because
    I really wanted the PL 67 dollar and a couple of the others. The dollar, by the way, had been crossed into a NGC
    holder (idiot) and I got an assurance from Goldberg's that if it didn't cross back with PCGS (still had the cert number)
    they would refund.

    Anyway, it was an academic exercise since the danged thing went for nearly $2,000 more than I was about to pay for it image
