I lost a few, but managed to get a couple also:
1703 Vigo Shilling:
Anne Pattern Halfpenny (P-728), I like to believe Newton may have fondled these himself as they were still trying to work out exactly how to consistently strike copper at the time.

Both of these went for well under my max bids so I was pretty happy. I also bid on the P-720 pattern halfpenny but it would up over $3,000 with the juice so I didn't get that one, and the 1722 Brass pattern went well out of reach, although their are only 2 known so I guess it's ok.

I had a few unsuccessful bids.
There were some surprises with the strength and some weakness of certain lots. I thought the 1745 LIMA Shilling did quite well.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
How does one get a hater to stop hating?
