Not me. I spent my coin budget, and will wait until fall to make new purchases. I bought ca. 50 books and catalogs for my numismatic library this year, so reading these will keep me out of trouble.

Very nice - my library only grew by 3-4 books, but I hope to pick up some more soon.
On this particular auction? 2 tracked lots, no bids. I'm not really one to overpay for coins, so if I had to guess, I probably won't win anything today.
I've learned I really have to see it before I can bid on it. I've tried the on-line, not seen it route but it has not worked for me.
I did bid in the Central States auction they held, and bid more than what the coin sold for the last time around. Since then the coin had been crossed to PCGS and got a "green bean." My bid, which was higher than the winner last time, was now well out of the money.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
I have two bids in - and am high bidder on both - one of which is for an old coin of mine that I sold to RLD14 who has consigned his coins to auction.
I only sold him that coin to complete his set - even though I didn't want to see it go. I should have mentioned I would take it back should he ever decide to sell it - but didn't. Oh well. My bid is higher than what I sold it for and if you add the 15% fees - I'm still doing okay.

Are all of the Heritage Summer FUN auction items listed or will they be adding more? It looks like FUN will be HALF the size of this auction. Nothing excites me for Summer FUN right now.

There are limits to this type of bidding, but a slight over bidding today, may yield
many times in value in the future.

They will join the rest of the pictures of the Estate Collection for your viewing pleasure.
My home closes escrow on Thursday and so, the hungry bear is prowling in some tall grass.
Of course, the coins I picked up from David Lawrence, are no slouchers either. They will be posted
the same time as the above, if any, coins.

I want a nice rug to lay on my soon to be lakefront cottage floor

I don't know who I am bidding against.
