Flipping through a Floyd T. Starr auction catalog and found...

my notes of lots I bid on in January 1993

I was just doing some research on a coin that sold in one of the sales and pulled catalogs off the bookshelf for the first time in two decades. I was shocked to find this inside as did lot viewing at Stack's office for both the 1992 & 1993 Floyd T. Starr auction and then mailed in my bids sheets. As I recall I won about 2-4 lots but was outbid on most. Figured it would be neat to post to compare to today's prices as these where full raw sales.

Two questions:
Were these undergraded raw?
What do the asterisks signify?

I've noticed that in the olden days (say, 1993), people used to write MS-63, now they use MS63.

Yes everything on the list was raw and the asterisks was for the ones that actually made it onto the bid sheet. I won 4 lots and they all graded out the same to 2 points higher at PCGS back in the day when you had to submit through an authorized dealer. I sold them all between 93-95 and do not own any of them today.

A bit of personal memorabilia.... I have come across things like that when looking through old gun books....and business publications. Sometimes I think "Great - very good point".... and other times I look at it and say "How could you have been so naive?".....Ah well, maturity has that effect... Cheers, RickO

This is interesting!

Today, you would not even dream of bidding $3800 on a raw 1923-S Peace dollar! If you have the urge, let me know, I have some!

All those choice early proofs and this is what you were after?

All the dollars were rainbow toned and your correct as honestly today I'd only bid on 1 item on this list.

Stack's broke the sets up by listing each denomination with it's own lot number and I didn't have the capitol to go all or nothing on any set.

I did view them and saw them again later at a show when Scott Travers had some of them in NGC holders grading in as high as PR69.

Best I can do without breaking the spine on the catalog

It sold for $35,200.00 with the 10% BP.
