OK, Who won what at Heritage so Far?

Bear

I won the 1905 Barber Half in MS-66+ CAC #3688

I am afraid to tell Mrs Bear what it cost.

I even have a few more bids to go. GROAN!

PQueue

Sounds like a nice addition to your set you're passing on to the kids.

jamesfsm

Do you think it's a 67 or do you think the mark on the cheek holds it back?

Bear

I hope so. I always warn about paying moon money and here,

I become a space man. Boy the air is mighty thin up here.

Yes, the mark troubled me some, but I liked the overall look

of the coin so much, that I went for it hook, line and sinker.

Bear

Now don't tell me, that I am the only dumb SOB, that bid and won something.

vibr0nic

Winner here!

Bear

sweet!

Bear

Things go so fast at the auction, that if you stop

to scratch your nose, times up and you lose.

Me on the other hand, well you know!!

Only on seated halves at that time.
Other east coast people did the same.
ended way to late if you ask me

I have already been outbid on every nice toned commem I went after, and I am thinking the market is either coming back or there are one or two people with no sense at all bidding these coins up, in any case I am going to let reason prevail and not get auction fever, which by the way has no medical cure.

Bear

I have notice that high grade and rare type coins, were going for much more then strong money.

Either people are getting rid of greenbacks or their is a growing criticality to the existing

shortage of high quality coins. The dregs of coindom of course are lagging , price wise.

partagas

I was outbid and went to bed. Coin was nice, premium for the grade. I hope it upgrades or someone will be buried in that coin.

Bear

Hmm, buried in a coin, I believe that I resemble that remark.

barrytrot

I was bidding on 6 coins. All 6 went for more than the highest of the listed "realized prices". I lost all 6.

Bear

Are these extraordinary high prices the norm, or is there a true bidding

war going on for high quality type coins and toned Commems?

Toned coins have been peaking again IMHO

STONE

AnkurJ

Zip here.

PeaceBD

I am collecting peace dollars in Gem/Super Gem. I just won this 1924 Peace. I think the price was fair.

Bear

Won #4305 BTW MS-67 That makes it 2 for 4 so far.

lkeigwin

Swung at three pitches, hit just one.

Gonna lose the holder.
Lance.

Tiny

Won a 1886 S PCGS MS 63 Morgan Iwas tickeled

lkeigwin

I put in a very strong bid for this 1813 CBH but was out bid.

The same coin sold at CSNS last year. A year later it jumped 40% in price.
Lance.

Kove

I'm 1 for 8.

Some of these prices are just crazy.

On the other hand, MANY high-grade commems went UNSOLD today.

Bear

I have one more big coin coming up at this evenings session.

I sure hope we are not talking moon money again. Such a high

altitude, tends to give me nosebleeds.

MFH

I won this 1918-S SLQ PCGS 64 FH

Bear

That is one lovely quarter, The very top of its grade. I love it.

In fact, I would give that puppy a PLUS grade.

illini420

Didn't win anything today again, but that's cool

One of the coolest items in the auction that I bid on was Lot 4379, the HK-1 1826 Erie Canal Completion Medal. Didn't know too much about them, but I came across it during lot viewing and saw that it had the original box it was issued in. Was very neat so I had to put a bid in. Apparently they're worth quite a bit more than I thought

I did a little research on these medals and couldn't figure out what the box itself was made of. About half the sources I found said the box was made from wood which was carried on the first boat to go through the Erie Canal. This is what the Heritage description says. The other half of the sources say the box was made from the wood of the acutal first boat to go through the Erie Canal the Seneca Chief. This is what the inscription on the paper inside to box seems to say. I think it would be much cooler for the box to be made from the first boat rather than just some wood that was transported by the first boat. But either way, I thought it was a neat piece of history and I'll get one someday

You didn't happen to see the 17-P Type 1 in 67 did you? Good lord!

1917-P

The most outrageous SLQ I've seen in years...

WOW, Pop 2 with 0 Finer. Looks like the price guide might get adjusted $5000 - $10000.

Bear

Won $10 Indian Head #4872

Won $5 1908 #4669




4 for 9

robkool

There was one on my list... Unfortunately, the reserve was set too high to even place a bid. The coin went unsold.

BryceM

I've bid on maybe 6 or 7. So far I've been blown out of the water. Every single one is going for at least 20% higher than any realized price for grade. I'm not even making it to the day of the floor auction. It seems strange. I'm looking for a few Peace dates in 64 or 65 and a few circulation pieces from the early 1900s for a type set. No luck yet.

Think the almighty dollar is worth what it was a couple of years ago? The whole aucitons seems strange to me, but I'm a total NewB.

BTW, that 18-S SLQ is nice!
