Confusing Goldberg results

I love the new feature of the Goldberg auctions where you can see results for similar lots to the one that you are looking at. However, upon checking a few of those for the recent sale of the good doctor's bust dollars, I noticed a pattern of repeat auction results where the same coin 'sold' in sale number 65 and then again at a different value in sale number 69 [this past week's].

So, the question arises whether or not the original prices realized are valid sales or merely 'did not meet reserves' reported as sales.

    Teletrade does that too. Same coins over and over.

    Aha - I got the straight scoop. They were bonafide sales, but circumstances demanded that the coins be reauctioned.
