This is my auction. This is a $50 +/- coin, but it has been bid up to over $100 with 57 bids. Three different bidders have pushed this up $2 at a time. Coinfacts lists a DDO, but this is not it. It almost looks like shill bidding, but I sure don't know these bidders. Any thoughts?
I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.

You're right, checking my CPG, it doesn't look like the DD to my eye.

I considered that, except no proofs were struck in 1934.

"6OE14" makes me want to just the bid button.

Hoping it'll 6OE15?

You expected $50 and got double that. WIN!!!
Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
Since the grading paradigm is dynamic, yesterday's 67 could be today's 67+ CAC, or 67* CAC, OR WHO KNOWS, A 68?
either way is is a blazer!
Whatever happened to the paradigm that with the advent of the TPG,a coin's grade can be determined with great precision and accuracy,precision and accuracy that was previously unheard of?
mr1874 believes that TPG putting a dollar amount range on the coin would be far more useful than picking a concrete number like 63 or 68,for example.Uncirculated coins would be basal uncirculated,choice uncirculated,or gem uncirculated but TPG giving us the correct range of how much the individual coin should fetch from an earnest buyer is a way better approach to "the grading problem," in my opinion.
The label on my 1884-O dollar would simply say "Choice Uncirculated." The label on my 1882-O dollar would say "Choice Uncirculated" as well even though it is clearly a nicer coin than my '84-O. Imagine a world where basal,choice and gem are the only three words used to describe the state of an uncirculated coin.

Would this when Choice was 65 and Gem was 67 only? Would we get Select 63 back?

Here's the conversion chart for the TPG's when the numbers go out of style and we return to words only to describe an uncirculated coin's state of preservation:
basal unc.-60,61
select unc.-62
choice unc.-63
select choice unc.-64
gem unc.-65,66
superb gem unc.-67,68,69,70

It deserves some premium.
