No pictures. Just a list.
I can’t wait to what these look like. Expecting a good laugh but hope to be wrong.

Clad quarters?
Right near two 1796 quarters. They have no idea what they’re looking at.
Can't hurt to look. Let us know please.
Best case scenario. Everybody bids as though they’re all fakes and I grab some deals for a quick eBay flip
If that was in our area they would be low-rent scummy vest pocket guys and they know exactly what they are doing, including acting as shills for each other in cahoots with the auctioneer.
Very possible
This is what would be most likely hereabouts... many of the shills would not actually qualify as low-end vest pocket coin dealers, just friends of the auctioneer...
There's some big coins on that list. Should be entertaining and fun. I actually have gotten some great deals at our local auction houses even with the questionable bidding.
I remember a local auction, and you didn't even need to be a friend to get a phantom bid. The back walls were buying.
If that ruse doesn't work, well, the auctioneer can always carry the goods over to a later auction...
I’ve had some good success at local auctions but patience is required along with a bit of gamble. Ill buy something ~10-20% of the time. I have two PCGS/CAC 1909-S VDB’s and a PCGS/CAC 19955 DDO which I bought raw along with a 1854-S $20 which wound up in a PCGS 45 holder. I never bought anything fake, at least as far as I know, but I’ve also had multiple coins wind up in detail holders.
Best of luck, for sure!

Item 62, 1954S and 1955S Lincoln 'MEMORIAL' cents??? I think not....Cheers, RickO
If you don't win those 1965 quarters, I have some.
Looks like the Auctioneer doesn't know beans. Just hope the audience is in the dark too. I've attended auctions like this where an old guy sitting in front is paying Red Book prices (plus 10% auction fees) and other times I wanted to buy 'em all.
Best of luck.
One of a kind, you heard it here first!!!

1982 Kennedy Half. Sold for. $15.00
But I just got these for $10 just because
. Still waiting for the morning interesting stuff
I pulled the trigger on this one.
Nice, to me that's a circ cameo. Any word on what the early halves went for?
I want to say it was a couple of thousand. There were 3 or 4 in total. The 96 quarter was pushing 4K. The 70 and 74cc halves were near 1000. I paid 700 for the half dime which I think was too much. My max was 600. So much for a max.
Not as bad as I thought. Overall some good buys were had and some folks way overpaid.
Yeah, but how much did the clad quarters go for?
witty quote goes here
That's a fairly early ACG slab, which means they were still a legit slabber. I wouldn't kick it out of the slab box in the morning.

Better edit out my ACG comment, in case the hager dude is still suing.
has your half dime been repaired between RT near 12:30?
Here’s a VG Details that sold on GC a while back:
I’ll have to get it under the stereoscope
