So much for me trying to snipe this one...

TwoKopeiki

Here's one I was going to snipe for $1000, but within a day it shot way past my intended price: eBay Linky

Scarce mint, very scarce grade, looks to me to be a mule with the 1846 eagle reverse.

I know how that feels, but on the bright side, you still have three days to reconsider your bid.

Maybe bidding at the current level will discourage those who didn't set a watch, and maybe there won't be many planning on a snipe of their own. Who knows? Maybe you can still get it for something like $1,111,11.

No, it's not my auction, nor is it by anyone I know.

I was watching that one too, but the timing is bad. After all of the recent auction wins, it is simply not in the cards for me.
In addition to Roman's observations, it's a wonderful looking coin.

CIVITAS

AU-58s seem to bring about $1000.00. This should bring $1300-$1500 I would guess. Maybe a bit more.

I saw this coin at the NYINTERNATIONAL-

Bidding closed at $1,925.

A board member perhaps? If so - congratulations

Not me- but I had a chance before ebay-

Not me either. I was topped out at $1,800 plus. I do have my limitations. Tough coin. Someone wanted it more than me.

CIVITAS

Wow, more than I thought it would bring.

dizzlecc, it looks like you might get a second shot, but I think I would contact the seller to inquire as to why it was relisted.

I took a moment to ask the seller that very question, and here's his/her reply:

Tom,
The high bidder informed us that he lost his job within
a day of the auction end, and could not pay for the item.
Good luck,
a-coinshop


I pasted that in from the eBay e-mail response window, so it'll probably come out full of code...sorry!

Best to all ~

That's funny!! If you look at the winner's bid history, he is still bidding on auctions.

Daltonista

Probably doing triage.

Any time an item is relisted virtually immediately after "selling" for a high price, I'm always suspicious of shill bidding. Then again, I'm a cynic.

TwoKopeiki

Oops, nevermind. Was looking at a wrong auction.

Edited: I thought it had ended last night.

Resplandor

It ended once again with bid of $1836.


-Lets just hope it doesn't show up again tomorrow...
