Someone thinks it's the finest known?
I don't, but I'm not an ultra-grade SLQ person.
Wow!
If it were the overdate, of course. But just a 1918-S? Nah.
Oh boy !!!
I figured it was the overdate.
There isn't any overdate.

I thought there was a 18/7?
Is the buyer still "entertaining offers?"
There most certainly is-just not on this coin. It's priced like one, tho.
We all know that branch mint coins- especially SLQ coins - didn't strike up well.
I for one understand that. Problem is I don't think that an 18-S in that condition is worth THAT much.
But hey...........whatever.

My thought was that maybe 2 bidders or more might have thought it was the overdate. Way to much for a regular 18-S no matter how nice and how strong. JMHO
72k spot?
Wait until the guy tries to sell it. Reminds me of the "finest known" 53 S FB Franklin which was bought about ten years ago.

"Sou Mangueira......."
Maybe they just put an extra zero in their bid?
While a nice SLQ, it is definitely not worth that price.... well, I guess it is to one individual...Cheers, RickO
I am wondering if @billjones was bidding here?
No, the three other threads about this pointed out that the coin was bid up live, it was no glitch/error.

Two individuals.... there was an underbidder
@ColonelJessup .... A seller's dream.....money and testosterone...

It was not a mistake the auction when it went live on this coin had the bidders stopping and the coin almost selling before the bidding started up again. This happened twice. 2 people really wanted this coin.
