But you just said you didn’t say it. When in fact you did. That’s the problem. You are so inconsistent that of course some of your predictions will be right.

You did in fact say 70s would far exceed $20k. Several times.

Remember @njcoin - you had MOON money on the 70's ----far exceeding 20k per coin for everything.

So, if we play this like the Price is Right - lets see who is closer without going over

No. Please don't put words in my mouth. Never said "far exceeding" $20K per coin for everything.

I said $20-50K, and I'm sticking with that. Even if some 69s don't quite get to $20K, and that's an open question.

Doesn't matter if they break $15K, given that you are still, stubbornly below $10K, even after seeing the bids right now. No way you are going to see 70s below $20K. I can't believe you don't see that now, but you will in around 13 hours, so it's all good.

For the record, moon money IS $20-50K, given they are modern issues with around $2700 worth of gold in them. Especially when you were predicting $7-9K for all of them, including 70s (other than the "special numbers"), not just the lowest of the 69s, when I was at $20-50K.

Even now you're drawing false confidence from the fictional Greysheet numbers, thinking generic 70s will top out at $12.5K. You are going to be off by A LOT. Especially as compared to me, even if every 69 doesn't make it all the way to $20K, and you try to make a big deal out of that, because "Price is Right" rules.

And some will. By a lot. Others by less.

I STILL believe no 70s will sell for less than $20K. If you are going to want to poke holes, and quibble about what "far exceed" means, have at it. $20K establishing the bottom of a range certainly does not imply that all coins will "far exceed" it. Otherwise, that number would have just been set "far" higher.

I gave a range. I'm sticking to it. $20-50K. I said #1 would "far exceed" $100K. I haven't received any pats on the back over that one yet, and it's the only one where anyone has been proven right or wrong to date.

Please stop twisting. I predicted a range - $20-50K for 70s. Maybe a little less for 69s, but far more than the $6-8K, later revised to $7-9K, called for by others. "Far exceed" is subjective. Some will, others won't.

A few days ago I also predicted some like you would just say I'm a broken clock who happened to be right this time, and that's fine. I called for these to go for far more than most here believed.

It is turning out that I was correct. I don't need you to acknowledge it, because I know it, you know it, and plenty of people following along at home, but not posting, know it. It's all good.

No 70 is going to close below $20K. Some will "far exceed" that level. Others will exceed it by less. 69s will "far exceed" $7-9K. They already have. Maybe they get to $20K, maybe not. I don't think I ever predicted, or guaranteed, that they would.

You said 70s would never hit $20K, because these are not part of a series like the V75 AGEs are. I was right. You were wrong. It doesn't matter to me whether or not you can bring yourself to admit it.

Sorry. As soon as I posted that, I went back to check whether it was you or one of my other fans, and I can't find the posts(s). I'll edit out the reference to you.

In your private jet!

I'm wondering why PCGS mounted these Privy coins with the Reverse up instead of the obverse? What's special about these coins is the Privy, why wouldn't you want that on the front of the slab?

Did you buy lot #1?> @jakeblue said:

In my pick-up truck with me in it.

or with me

It will interesting to see where the bidding goes after 2 or 3 hours. Kind of exciting. Haven't enjoyed an auction this much since our farm auctioned last year.

Got 3 so far.... NOT

Coinsaddict won a few and already listed on ebay.

69s ending well.....

70s bottomed $32/$33, heading back up
69s bottomed $25/$26 heading back up
never got under my bid limit , LOL
Only 1 forum member, not to be named to protect his/her identity, saw this coming!

@Bullsitter said:
LAST ONE....

Somebody really wanted that "LAST" coin.

Is there any real importance to coin #230 other than it's the same number as on the privy.

I didn't get a chance to watch this live... why was #154 passed?

Even a blind squirrel finds an occasional nut!

A stopped clock is right twice a day.

Lucky guess?🤣😂

Right on cue, and exactly as I predicted some would comment. Looks like I am now batting 1.000, at least with respect to the auction and my fan club's immediate reaction.

Thank you for not disappointing. Don't want you to EVER feel as though you are being left out of any conversation involving me. 🤣😂

@coiner said:
I bet with all that talk, NJCoin will not be a bidder on even one of the coins.

Lots of talk, but not walking the walk.

What walk am I not walking? The one where I cannot afford to spend $20K plus on a single coin?

I never said I could or would. You guys are the ones doing a lot of talking, as though you will be buying anything anywhere close to either side of $10K, or successfully engaging in so-called "retail arbitrage."

You are just going to be blown away with your bids, and left shaking your heads. Claiming that I am nothing more than the broken clock who happened to be right this time. I can't wait. 😀

@jwitten said:
Does anyone know why 154 was “passed”?

It was a clerical error and actually sold for $34,000. I felt #154 was one of the nicer remaining examples in the True Views. Every coin after #181 had some reverse die issues with tiny mark above the eagle wing tip and two tiny marks on the bottom.
