After being shut out in August and in the UK last week I was finally able to overpay for a few coins I wanted.
1752 Lubeck Dreiling in gold, unc. details but a very scarce piece and this is the only one I thought I got cheap:
1812 Great Britain 1/6 (18 pence) token, this is the armored bust version in 65:
1812 same coin but the bare bust version in 66:
And a modern for my type set, 1936 Florin in 66 which I thought was pretty:
There weren't a huge number of coins in this sale, prices seemed on the reasonable side, I think because there were so few high grade pieces. In the British at least there were quite a large number of decent coins but mostly in VF-AU grades, I think most of the high rollers decided just to wait for the Heritage sale tomorrow.

Blew my wad on a single DNW coin!
OK, I'm lazy, but it appeared there was no live internet bidding on current lots? Is this right or am I wrong?
Well, just Love coins, period.

I'm not sure what to say about this one, so I'll throw it all into the ring. I took it out of the collection in April and sold it on as a good EF because of the wear to the high points. An attractive coin, but not quite there. The purchaser got it slabbed and put into the Goldberg sale. He did mention that NGC seemed to be all over the place with the grades of what he submitted, with an expected unc coming back as AU53 too, so at odds with others' perceptions all round. For the record, I bought the bank token off Jeffrey Zarit in 2004.

Rob, are you insinuating that this might be your coin? I was actually looking at both 1812s and it looks as if the armored bust has a much better strike than the above bare bust, but I might be mistaken by the toning or the image.
All in all, you've blown us away Jeff.

It was my coin. No might about it. I can post an image if you need evidence.

Well, we'll never tell the true grade from an image, but this is all the more reason I have my eye on a condo on Siesta Key in 3-4 years................sounds like NGC could use a good grade finaliser.
I had a friend I trust look at them at the preview, he liked them, I liked them, so I bought them. I've had GEF coins from top dealers in the UK grade anywhere from AU58-MS66 so I'm not surprised at all. I've also bought a cracked out previously NGC PF64 19th C. British coin from a UK dealer I think highly of, resubmitted it a year later, and it came back PF64, again. So at least they show some level of consistency.
In any case now they'll be put away, never to darken an auction house again, until I'm gone at least.

It might be Details, but that is a very nice looking Gold piece, and I don't go for gold pieces very often.
