"My friends who see my collection sometimes ask what something costs. I tell them and they are in awe at my stupidity."

(Putin 1/17) Gone but not forgotten. IGWT, Speedy, Bear, BigE, HokieFore, John Burns, Russ, TahoeDale, Dahlonega, Astrorat, Stewart Blay, Oldhoopster, Broadstruck, Ricko.
I wonder how hard it would be to show the holders as well, similar to what HA does??

Looks like the first two bust quarters in a LM auction this time around. No picture on the 1796 yet, as Ankur noted. I was a little turned off when I read the two bust quarter descriptions.
The 1796 is called "perfect SUPERB GEM FINE 12!"
The 1824 is similarly called "A GEM F15!"
Gee, I just realized something... all of my coins are GEM!
Searching for bust quarters.....counterstamps, errors, and AU-MS varieties, please let me know if you can help.

LOL, all of mine are GEMs too -- unfortunately, some more than others, not even mentioning the ownership-adds-a-point factor.
<< <i>I dont see any "deals" in this auction. Personally it seems to me that everything is at full retail. >>
Why would there be deals? Why wouldn't it be full retail? It's a small boutique auction with some pretty cool stuff in it and some knowledgable participants. It's EXTREMELY well run. It seems to me this maybe a great place to consign some coins. Just thinking out loud.

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......

I was happy with my purchases. Strong money - YES, but coins that aren't easy to find and nice examples with great color so naturally a premium will exist.

From what I saw, and my reason for stating this is because the last auction DID have good buys and many were purchased by dealers for resale.
All coins kept in bank vaults. PCGS Registries Box of 20 SeaEagleCoins: 11/14/54-4/5/12. Miss you Larry!

There were a few more coins that fell through the cracks last auction I will grant you that. The dealer resale angle will be harder to play as this small boutique auction house evolves. That's A OK. I think that's part of the MO.

I thought the prices realized were generally high. The sell through rate was also very high. All of the indicators are moving in the right direction. The auction business is very difficult. Everyone loved short-lived ANR, but they could not make a go of it. Being outwardly successful does not translate into being successful as a business. Good luck to Laura, Bruce, and the Morphy's.
<< <i>then the market report will read the same, strong coins get strong prices. >>
Yup. I can't see dealers buying these coins for resale, at least the CAC'd coins. >>
Funny...I know that many dealers bought quite a few of the CAC coins in the sale. The results were strong, but fair...the market is certainly strong on CAC-quality items and this sale was no exception...of course, there were some very successful dealer bids in the sale from what I've already heard. I think you would be surprised Ankur if you had been at the show/sale to see who was viewing and placing the most bids there.
I attended the sale, through the early dollars, so I cannot comment on the Morgans, Peace, gold, commems, and patterns.
But from what i saw, and recorded, it was a huge success, with very few coins not sold, and more than half realizing bids above estimates.
My 3 consigned coins all were well above my costs, and market values. If you think the majority of coins went higher than current values, then just know prices are going up for the colorful eye-appealing examples. And adjust your thinking.
The pre-auction pricing on the 2 real colorful dollars--the 1896 and 1923-S--is telling us that these type of coins will sell closer to pq commems(multiples) than most normal series. I do not know their final hammer, but I would bet they brought more than all thought they would.
This venue will continue to bring more people to Vegas and the chance to see and buy quality coins. I recorded 22 bidders in the small room an hour after the auction began. It seemed well attended for such a small show and sale.
