Did anyone win this latest Stacks auction? If so post them, If not explain why not

coinsarefun

I did manage to win 3 nice ones and a few I didn't as the prices went above what I was willing to pay only because I wanted
to be able to get the 3 items I won. The first 2 auctions I won at a very fair price but the 3rd made me go up over my desired
amount but took the plunge anyways
.
Overall I think the realized prices for some pf the material went for a very reasonable price or at below what I thought they should have. Then there were some I was surprised it went that high. Maybe the 20% turns away some bidding, not sure?
.
Some items I was able to bid and keep up with on my cellphone. The last item I was on my computer.
Overall a very nice experience on the internet bidding site on Stacks, with no complaints.

Followed the auction I believe last Thursday and had 3 items I was after that went 25%+ higher than my (what I thought) competitive max. So at least for what I was after prices were strong.

Same for the one coin I was after on GC Sunday night. Can't seem to buy anything right now.

Given the sheer number of Stacks auctions in the last week, kind of hard to know what you are talking about.

Most here know my interests are in tokens, scd's , medals and so on.
But I also collect coins, US and World.
.
The exonumia items were as described above. A fair amount of coins that I was watching also applies to what I said above. There still is one more auction, I think tomorrow so I don't want to be specific.
But, the old saying that top notch material sells very well and the others sell for solo money and see it dropping.
.
.
I will post my 3 items soon.

I did not win the auction because you did.

Can you post links to the lots?

New York--New York. 1860 J.N.T. Levick. Miller-NY 458. Copper. 28 mm. MS-64 RB (PCGS).
I think this piece in copper is rarer than the other metal available as I have seen very few. And I got a trueview to boot!

This piece I won with very minimal research as I couldn't find anything on this one. It cannot be compared to a die trial, nor pattern, maybe the closest value you can compare it to is a contemporary electrotype (price wise)
Either way it is a super neat looking piece that will fit very nicely into my collection.

Stef - I really like this Cleveland piece -- fun design! I don't collect politicals from this era, but had I seen this I probably would've bid. Nice PU!

I won a few lots. Probably would've bought more, but the 20% buyer's premium pushed them a little too high. I'll try to post a couple of my wins later today.

Thanks, I too was wondering if the 20% buyers fee hurts the bidding. Even though I account for the fees
Manny people are hung up on that and won't bid. In my case I'm kind of lucky it went my way for a change an dkept the price down.

Look forward to your pickups.

My want list and need list do not overlap right now

It’s been a while for me, but I must say Stack’s/Bowers has really improved their website! Bidding in their auction worked flawless for me. Way to go everyone!!!

I picked up 3 walker halves... 2 1921 and a 1921s. all low grade. i am thinking about a rare date/MM registry set

Zoins

Great pieces Stef! Love the Renegade Press piece.

I bid on some but didn't win any.

Here's one I wanted but it went for more than what I wanted it for at $45,600.

A few others caught my eye but were not interesting enough for me to put in winning bids.

Instead of those, I recently picked up a Seated half, a 1850s merchant token and what is now my favorite overstruck dollar by Dan Carr.

Wow, a super nice piece. I didn’t see that one.
Now I have to try and find some information on my struck copper copy of $20 Assay coin

Here's a nice bronze Assay Medal with a Libertas Americana motif that was recently sold for $7,200. Only 4-12 are known.

https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots/view/3-9JMO1

LOT DESCRIPTION
1945 Assay Commission Medal. Yellow Bronze. 68 mm. JK-AC-90. Rarity-7. Specimen-66 (PCGS).

A gorgeous specimen, as made with full striking detail, warm antique gold patina and a delicate sandblast texture. The 1945 is certainly one of the most attractive and eagerly sought entries in the Assay Commission series. Featuring the classic portrait from the Libertas Americana medal engraved by Augustin Dupre in Paris during the 1780s and a reverse design adapted from Dupre's Diplomatic medal. It is also an elusive issue, with somewhere between four and 12 pieces known, its rarity perhaps best indicated by the fact that an example was not included in our (Stack's) November 2008 sale of the exhaustive Ernest E. Keusch Collection of United States Assay Medals. The present offering is sure to see spirited bidding from advanced students of this important and challenging series.

Barndog

nothing for me at Stack's (or HA) or pretty much anyone since last August. The joys of a focused collection.

I tried to buy the 74-CC Trade $1, but I got outbid by about 30 grand.

specialist

josh darn I hope the 74CC MS65's!!

EXOJUNKIE

Here are a few of my favorite PUs from the sale. Hope you like them.

This one is an upgrade:

I already own a better example, but I love this issue and couldn't resist it for the price:

Always wanted one of these. I think this will satisfy me:

Finally, I really liked the personalized engraving on this Masonic token:

Nice acquisitions Stef....I wonder if the 20% fee has affected participation in the auctions at all? It would be hard to tell - well, except for the auction house...I see 25% in about a year or so... Cheers, RickO

The few items I bid it, I ended up getting blown out. Still for the life of me couldn't figure who would bid up common MS-64 1883 No Cents nickels up to the $200 range?!?

davewesen

I guess I won, all my bids were too low, but I have more money for Heritage or their next one.

Heritage adding to the "hoard?"

Great pickups everyone.
Love that Martin Van Buren piece @EXOJUNKIE
@Zoins As I said earlier.....Very neat Assay, never seen that one before.
I was watching that Trade and a few other higher end coins and all went for moon money @CoinRaritiesOnline
