My HA session 4 newp

Options
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!

    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.
