The group had a lot of coins that fit my interest, so I was following it fairly intently.
On the whole, the coins went pretty cheap. I was mostly paying attention to the seated stuff, and there were many super-tough dates that went for around 2/3 of what the same coins would bring on Heritage... not to mention that some of the coins have significant upgrade potential.

I had my eye on a couple Better-Date Seated coins, but quickly lost interest since it isn't where I'm putting my money these days.
Nevertheless, I was only interested in 2-3 coins and they went beyond my limits. It appeared well hyped from my end, but
I guess seated stuff went cheap for you.
...what did you pick up?
Edited to add...I will agree that many (especially the low MS type) appeard 1-2 grades better than their current old-ANACS Grades!

<< <i>If it says pending, does that mean I won the lot? Lol. I set a bid up earlier on a nice DMPL Morgan and forgot to watch it.

Definitely doesn't mean that... you need to go to my account and check to see if you can pay for it... if you can, then you won

Yeah, that was a pretty stupid question.

Edited to add: Just checked, and it says I didn't win any. Oh well.

<< <i>Will, Bust stuff went strong...at least full Heritage prices for the nicer ones I was looking at.

here's a few of them...
62-S 25c... $450 + juice, PCGS generally calls ones that look like this VF
59-S 25c... $775 + juice, great deal as is, but has PCGS VF potential
59-S 10c... $825 + juice, mushy but has straight-grade potential... I still believe it to be a good deal as is
Still some great looking, tough S-mint coins!!!
I watched a couple but didn't like the direction they were headed and stopped
keeping up. As for the pending I never see that, I wait til 11pm and go to my
account and if I have a notice to pay an invoice well okey dokey and if not no biggie.
Don't really matter to me what the coin sells for cause it ain't mine.
<< <i>I think your best bet for an upgrade is the 1859-S Quarter, I'm not positive on the other two!

I agree with both the upgrade possibilities. The 1862-S is very nice, and a dead-ringer at VF20 in my book. The 1859-S worries me a bit, the obverse looks funky from the pics. I really like the reverse, but I would like to see it in hand. That said, I do think it has upgrade potential.
