Very nice!
I have bids in the second part of the auction.
Love the toning on that 😉
The remainder will be going off next week for those of you who missed tonight‘s opportunity.

Wow, looks like he's selling everything!!
We used to be pretty good friends, but once he quit collecting we kind of lost touch - hopefully he's still doing OK.
Some of these coins I used to own or have seen first hand submitting them for PCGS, he had some pretty nice stuff.
I chased this AU 58 Kennedy but ended up short. Anyone win it?

I could go look it up, but I'm lazy... what was the closing price?

I snagged a couple and was runner up on a few others. Here are my winners.

I got this PR64 from when he had a sale in January 2023 via GC.
I have a really nicely toned proof 1962 nickel, quarter, and half. I just need a cent and dime to complete the toned proof set.

Beauties! I forgot to bid. I was playing golf lol.
God comes first in everything I do. I’m dedicated to serving Him with my whole life. Coin collecting is just a hobby—but even in that, I seek to honor Him. ✝️
Thanks, I enjoy it. Here's the nickel and quarter for 1962...not easy finding a suitable cent and dime for the project.

Those are amazing too!
He did have a good eye!
Snagged the 65 last week and the 66 yesterday. Thanks for putting all these gems up for auction, Teddy!
Nice win…I was watching that one. It’s not often I find a Peace dollar with attractive color but that one is fantastic.
I knew I wanted this one badly so I put what I thought would be a sure fire bid in.
Won it by $1.00
Appreciate it! I don’t see Peace dollars with this color become available too often.
There were 2 coins I was after and I got blown away on the other one, but definitely fired up to be adding this one to my collection.
I also bid on this coin but did not win it either.

Kennedys are my quest...
I was the under bidder on this one.

Those are gorgeous. Congrats! I was in the mix on the Merc. Awesome specimen.

I was the under bidder on this one as well.

I was watching that Walker as well.
I was resoundingly trounced on the 36-p merc dime even with $200+ bid.
On the upside my one winning from last week showed up and it’s even nicer in hand.
I had been watching the 46-s WLH but it got too rich before I put in bid. Ironically my WLH in my type set came from one of Teddys eBay sales a few years back

I was fortunate to pick up these three beautiful coins from Teddy's collection:
Thank you @lasvegasteddy and rest assured these have a "good home"!!

I also was "viciously" sniped for two higher priced coins, inlcuding a 1939 Lincoln with text toning and a gorgeous bulls-eye toned 1966 Washinton quarter! Anyone willing to confess?

That has to be the wildest toning on a quarter I have seen. It does not even look real on the back - amazing.
you guys are awesome
HUGE ASS THANK YOU
always a dear friend there clarkbar04 and you bet i loved the horsetrading we've done
of note
that moose 1966 sms quarter came from u1chicago...sweet enough he should remember owning it
that 66 kennedy was from clarbar04 and only went in once but it sure looked unc to me...undergraded if you ask me
i sure am happy for the most part these coins are received well
there was some rare forms of toning
i sure was happy someone snagged that textile bag toned mercury dime on the cheap
so of note my guess was $15k to $20k on retail price of $13k
i ended up fetching $21k to hand my kids as i called their bluff when they'd say
dad isn't going to sell them
a dad's promise held true and it sure will be nice looking at their face when they see the zelle came in

You may want to make a correction to the post; your Roosevelt dime was not from Teddy's collection. It was one of the coins I had in GC.
I think I was the under bidder on the 1964 Rosie @lablover (this one of the three was my choice)
The search continues for nicely toned example!

@lablover Indeed -- my error! The Lincoln and the Kennedy were from Teddy's not the Roosie which was evidently yours. Very happy to have won the Rooise as well with @catbert hot on my trail.
It sure was "toner chaos" Sunday evening!
Cheers all,
John

That is a great description. A lot of items went much higher than expected, especially when I consider the previous weeks results were i snagged a couple much cheaper than I expected.

Congrats on winning the coin. It's even better in-hand than the image. It, along with the others had been sitting in an album I began 25+ years ago. Hope you enjoy...
Oh, if you'd like another image of the coin this is one robec (Bob Campbell) did for me.
I don't remember how many times I sent it in and it came back QC - at least 3.
Your generosity is unmatched!
Is there some search I can make on Great Collections to find this collection being auctioned? Does GC auction off a large collection or special collections separately from smaller consignments?
It was listed with a name and it should now be in the archives since the sale concluded. GC does give names to some bigger consignments. If someone sends in only a few coins, then there usually won’t be a collection name.
Thanks! I'll hunt down some of these dates in GC's cool archives. These are some very nice colorful coins.
Thanks @lablover - that is a great photo. Much appreciated! John

and yes one has to request their consignment be done under the...
" Coin Collections Currently Listed at GreatCollections "
like the great photos of your coins...by request some if not most times
this sale of mine i insisted as my proof sale back in 2023 i couldn't get them to do " great photos "
of note
phil arnold is now in great collections doing imaging
many know phil arnold as pcgs's trueview imager for the longest of times
of note
all coins have trueview + great photo
all coins never were sent to CAC and surely most would get approval i'd think
i never sent coins in for grade upgrade as it was a chore to get straight grades on alot of these
as pcgs was/is super tough on toned coins
persistence was the key e.g.
the 65 kennedy ms64+ took 5 tries for straight grade
1919 lincoln ms63rb took 4 tries...i chuckled as onetime it was "rd"
the 37-s buffalo in ms64 took 4 tries
personally the fight with pcgs was worth it if the coins were
and alot of my toners were worth the fight
Great perspective. And thanks for the information!
Your passion for toners was easily evident through the coins in your consignment. Congrats again!
