    In a bad way. I remember a couple of the coins from my set building days - I passed on them at the time.

    I have a couple Proof type coins. If I gain or lose, it doesn’t matter to me.

    I have two Gobrecht Dollars, but they don’t count because they have a different history. Once more it doesn’t matter.

    I'm interpreting the OP's comment as they passed on purchasing coins when they were lower priced, and regret it now that the coins have risen in value. (I have no knowledge of the current Seated dollar market, just an awareness that many issues in the series are scarce and somewhat underrated)

    Heck no - I paid multiples of those values realized to get the real coins at the time.

    When I was looking for a no motto and with motto type coin of the series, I bought a nice MS 63 and a nice MS 64, and forgot about the series. The additional tick mark or two on a 4 was so much less expensive than paying for a 5. That, and hearing a guy brag that on the 11th submission, he got one of these into a 5 holder convinced me it wasn't a good idea paying full freight for one.

    I think it is a good time to buy. Buy Low, Sell High.

    Probably a sign of the times. Too many coins, too many auctions going on at once, and not enough interest from the general public. In my opinion, it's probably because new collectors are just not going into coin collecting, vs whatever else it is they do with their time. It is one of the greatest hobbies of all, the hobby of kings. But like stamps, and silver teaspoons, coin collecting might be on the way out. Before anyone calls me a heretic, I have to say, one auction does not a market make! Something that sold for a lot a few years or months ago, and suddenly sells for nothing today, might just reflect a bad auction (not enough buyers, and poor marketing). Just some off the wall opinions. I have a whole book on the theory of markets, and each coin/country/mint/date has its own following. It's the last buyer who determines the price. But true value is in the eye of the beholder (and coin holder).

    Not sure about this auction, but the ones that were stickered seemed to be doing well, since there are so many problem coins in the series. Are they falling as well?

    I’m guessing less interest in coins overall.
    New money is buying crypto coins not cryptic coins.
