I would view this as spam if I thought that the intent of the OP was to generate interest in the coins for additional bidding. It appears that the OP was, if anything, critical of the bidding activity, not soliciting higher bids. Additionally, I think that there is negligible likelihood that anyone on this forum would have an iota of interest in placing bids on these coins, at these levels, as the responses to this thread have suggested.
As crypto suggested, it probably would be more appropriate to discuss after the auction, but TT does not know the protocol and nuances of the forum.

No, keets, I am serious. >>
The unwritten rule/nuance is that one does not post pictures of or start threads about coins that they have for sale either on the BS&T board or some other venue. We have the BS & T board for that. It is ok however, for a DISINTERESTED party to make such posts as long as it is informative/educational and NOT PROMOTIONAL.

Honestly, if the OP hadn't done, I would have. It is a worthy anomaly.

I see how it could function that way, sure. I see how a lot of people, not you necessarily, really enjoy trying to police the forums and it is a bit tiresome. There are rules here that can be applied with an iron fist, absolutely...but they aren't which is probably a good thing. I think we have to look more to the spirit of the rules, step very carefully and follow them the best we can as a community. If Teletrade starts posting like this every week then we have a big problem and the appropriate people will handle it, not us. But with 40 posts in 2.5 years, some being on the BST I believe and some on the US Coin forum answering questions about the auction house, I really do not believe we have a major problem on our hands given the SHOCKING nature of the post. If you feel it needs immediate attention, rather than acting as a forum police officer and posting about it, it would be more productive to go ahead and send a PM to Sportsmoderator1, HRH, DonWillis etc. I won't do this but you can feel free to. I just do not a reason to at this point. All the best. >>

Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set: 1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S. Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!
I find it interesting that those who think this is spam, why do you continually keep bumping this thread back to the top?
what would you think of having a discussion about how Teletrade has dwindled over the past few years to a point where the venue is almost irrelevant??
I second that! What the he!! happen to all the coins we use to see 3-4 times a week? Are we witnessing a change in venues from Teletrade to GreatCollections? Ian Russell did work for Teletrade, correct? Please fill us in!
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
The addition of these 2 58+ will probably be difference between having #1 Everyman set and #2 or #3 set. Some people will protect that at all costs.
this philosophy is what perverts the whole Registry concept(which I believe is a good concept). the Set which I choose to participate with, Proof Jefferson Nickels w/Varieties 1938-Present, requires that you fill as much as possible with PR70DC to even have a chance at ranking in the top five. it is ludicrous when you consider that for the price of those 70's I could choose to buy a 1950 PR66DC and remain ranked the same.
It was not that long ago when I got very excited when I was able to upgrade a 58 slider to a ms-60 or better. Back then, I would never have dreamed I was throwing money away in the process.
I will be ready next time. I am hoarding all the XF-45's I can find. It is only a matter of time until PCGS announces the new "Almost Everyman Registry Sets". The cutoff grade will be XF-45.

7 billion people, there is more than enough lunacy to go around. i know i have plenty ! .
So......no-one thinks a Au58+ should be a somewhat red coin with slight wear and not brown? hmmmmm >>
Are you actually suggesting that these are overgraded, (gasp) in the holly grail of holders, (another gasp) the kool-aid crowd will be on your doorstep with pitchforks you know.
