    Since when does the seller's sense impact biders?

    It appears that's the starting price the seller applied to it...... da reserve as you might say.

    I'll bet you sometimes wish you'd actually have thought before posting.

    Nice coin but "stupid money" reserve.

    This coin, and at least 1 44-D NGC MS67FB Merc was probably Blue Moon's. The Merc was like at $900 or something (a $70 coin).

    You'll see this coin on eBay in a couple of weeks with one of Blue Moon's really funny posts about how this coin was graded 19 times, yada yada yada.

    Here's a nicely struck 53S I got from Teletrade last week. Heck, maybe I should list it on Ebay.

    Heritage had a similar MS-66 in the signiture auction
    I was high bigger and then the reserve came out at $1700, I thought it was a typo, because it didn't sell, and the BIN was 1950, again I thought a ty[po as most 66s were going for about 195 with the juice.

    When I contacted them, they said no, that was thge correct price as it was as close to FBL as they have ever seen, and had spent a bunch at TPGs rolling the dice.

    Heywood, how much did you bid? What do you think an appropriate premium would be for a well-struck 53S with close to full, but not quite full, bell lines?
