Well I was the under bidder on the only coin I was after. Lot 5812 PCGS Walker 66 PF Cameo. It hammered @ $9200. I'm in China and couldn't stay awake so I had to leave my bids prior to the live bidding. grrrrrrrrrr. MJ
Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Wanna hear my tale of woe? There were three seated quarters I was interested in, at least one of them I was willing to raise my bids by several increments if necessary. Internet connection at the hotel f'd up right near the end of the bust quarters, and wasn't back untill the seated q proofs. Talk about bad timing, grrrrrrrr....

I was the underbidder on this lot and happen to agree that it is a beautiful looking CBH, perhaps undergraded, perhaps not. As was said earlier in this thread, it's all about the luster. If it's just not there, then AU55 is the appropriate grade. I happen to have several AU55 CBH's in my Registry that are slightly lacking in luster but have wear in the AU58 range.
I hope Patches will let us know about the luster when he gets it in hand.
Sounds like a lot of us were bidding against one another. I placed nine strong bids on CBH's. Rebid on six. All were higher than price guide. Lost all but one.
Heritage photos below. I'll reshoot them when it eventually arrives. Lance.

As far as weak prices, you're kidding me, right??
