This coin auction looks like a 2 horse race.

    My guess is there is a SCHILL bidder and it isn't the one named ROMANW.... image

    Redfields typically sell for MS 63 money, which is about $500.

    Someone is going to take it in the shorts on this one. It wont be me. I am happy to inform all here that I am not one of the bidders on this obvious rip off.

    i think that seller got very lucky tonight then.

    they are probably doing a dance in front of their computer.
    shouting yes! god yes! at the top of their lungs.

    Looks like 2 shills-- With the pedigree maybe $550, without maybe $400-50. Remember they're usually MS-63 but even in true Gem it's a $2,500 coin tops. I hope it's 2 shills and not a sucker and a shill anyway---image

    I got it !

    The seller told his brothers, Darrel and Larry, that he was auctioning off Ma and Pa's coin.... Now since they are all from the deep south, and I mean DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP... they got into this little HIGH TECH bidding war on the computer ... kinda like NINTENDO, if y'all know what I mean image.



    the names were changed to protect the ignorant

    Redfield, they thought, was Kin to Hatfield......and these are the real McCoy's image

    While we sometimes see a bidding war between two determined collectors,

    I do belive that the example you show, is striking enough for folks to stand

    aside.

    I've purchased some nice coins from that seller. Gotten good deals as well.

    On one of them, I kept looking over my shoulder expecting the snipes to deluge it at the close and hoping my unseen top bid would weather the storm. Surprisingly, no one else bid at the end.

    I came out extremely well on a DMPL Morgan. Super fast shipping too!
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    That was one strange auction- $5400 for as Mark stated about a $500 coin. With that chunk of change you could pick at least a dozen 98-s morgans in PCGS/NGC63 holders and the irony is that most of them would have probably came from the redfield hoard anyway image
