Thank's to Heritage I won the coin I really wanted.

What ever the glitch was that messed up Sunday nights auction I was glad to see them stop the auction and start over last night. First my bid on a coin that I did not want was removed by the staff at Heritage with out any hassle. They also assured me all the lots were going to come back up not just the even number ones.

I can assure anyone that thought the consignors were going to take a hit by doing the auction over were wrong. I watched and the even number lots went for double or triple what they sold for on Sunday night so there was a problem and Heritage did a Great job for the consignors.

Now one of the coins I have been looking for the past 3 years only came available when the number 1 Variety Set Retired from JWB 1040 and it is always kind of sad to see a fellow collector selling his set but does open the door to other collectors. Just a side note to others when selling a set with so many beautiful coin spread it out over a year. There was Many more coins I wanted but it was just impossible to spend 10 grand or more.

This coin has a total population of 9 coins with only 4 of those in MS. I Really wanted this coin even with the bidding approaching twice the cost of price guide.

So I waited for the auction to start and about 20 lots before this coin I threw a nuclear bid of 2 grand. Lucky for me when the coin came up my auto bid took over the lead at 1300 and no one bid anymore. So here is the coin that I have added to my Set. 68 coins to go....... Patience.....

Enjoy Tom
