This is the Platinum session, with mixed results across the board. Some went strong overall, like Cuba. Others were generally weak, like German States. And some had mixed results.
I wanted ONE SINGLE LOT for this entire auction, and I got it:
In my notes from lot viewing, I wrote "nice" for this lot (31104). As comparison, I felt 31102 (Commonwealth 1/2 Cr in PF64) was "decent", 31103 (Cromwell 1/2 Cr in MS64) was "so-so" (it has an unoriginal look to it), and 31105 (Cromwell Cr in MS64) was "decent". 31102 performed somewhat well, 31103 sold for basal value because of the holder, 31104 performed so-so and 31105 sold a little bit soft.
I offer the above commentary because I worry when the lot I won didn't generate a frenzy, and I wonder if I bought a mere product piece. But, I examined the coin in person. So did two trustworthy US collector friends who did HA lot viewing with me. We all liked the coin.
[Edited to add that my max bid was much higher.]

I don't think high grade Cromwell pieces will ever be just product, but overall the auctions sure aren't generating the bidding we have gotten used to seeing. Well done!0

Congrats... wonderful coin.
I would not get too caught up in trying to figure out auction results... There are just too many variables.Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
