Watching for the last 112 lots
yeah, I was "watching" a few earlier lots, now enjoying what's for sale and waiting for others to come up.
You should be in Heaven right now
well, most of the Elder Gold Basis and Taft/Wilson medals were either struck on a planchet alloy I didn't want or had some type of problem that deterred me from bidding, although I had placed a bid a few weeks ago on about four of them. the one I was most interested was bid past what I thought was reasonable. I'm OK with that but on the downside is the fact that those medals don't show up that often. for about six of them I had never seen them offered before.
I did manage to win a nice HK-17 Battle of Lexington and there's an item in Session 9/Internet next week that's really an item I'd like, so I chose to hold off and direct my attention to that. I think I have a good chance of winning it.
here's the Lexington. I owned a raw example about 15 years ago from the So-Called Dollar MiniHoard that I sold, this one is PCGS encapsulated with the TrueView and it's a much nicer medal for about the same price.
Frank, the Bowers collection of HTT's is up, now who's in Heaven??
Ugh, Ive been outbid on every one so far......I tossed in a very high bid for an HT coming up soon and closed the auction.

I was outbid (or as they put it "LOST") on both lots I tried.

Ha I got slaughtered and just walked away with winning just 1 token I needed.
Some HTT's seemed like Hanson was bidding as it was like getting beat with a mustard bottle.
Ready for a nap!
Outbid on 55 Lots won 1 Lot.
One that got away
That Becks is hard to believe it even exists it’s so perfect!

With the 20% and sales tax of say about 7% coins are going for good money............nothing seems cheap.
You can always buy a Standing Liberty Type 1
Huh, I have the _****Playboy magazine****__ with a full expose' on the King Farouk_1933 Double Eagle and Jay Parino nonsensical FBI sting. Circa 2004 lots of pages filled with fun and SLQ models not to mention Art, History, and Romance of the 1933 Saint
Yeah that was a major consideration for backing off as a lot was bought by a couple dealers on the floor and will come up again soon all over the web.
Yeah but pushing it any further trying to win would have cut into my bathing with real live breathing women funds

@keets Good eye on snagging that Lexington instead of the other one. The previous lot was mine when I posted it a year ago (I sold it since then -- this wasn't my consignment). It was horrid -- terribly hairlined, totally unnatural surfaces and strange color. The color difference is pretty obvious in the two adjacent lots, but I suppose it's not clear why the colors are different.
Yes, I know what the slab says. I didn't think that was appropriate then, and I still don't.
Someone bought the holder. I wonder if the winning bidder saw it in hand first. The one you got for less money is clearly a better example.
