in this AUCTION there is only 4 bids by 3 bidders and I am curious why the bid jumps from second bid of $6 to third bid $1000? I don't see that there was a reserve as when there is and it is met it show that the reserve was met and this one doesn't. So why the big jump? isn't it supposed to just go up to the next increment reguardless of what the next bidder enters? Just wondering as I am pretty new to this. BID HISTORY

However, when bidder 3 came in, at over $1000, it showed the max of what bidder 2 was willing to bid and trumped it (bid of $1000).
Bidder 2 came back and trumped that ($1025 right now).
I certainly would have been out of the bidding very low on this one....someone better know their half cents to be bidding this high on coins looking like that.
Any 1/2 cent expert take a look and want to comment???

<< <i>The level of these bids don't make any sense. the problem with now hiding bidders names is that shill bidding will become more common, though I am not suggesting it is the case on this one. >>
I don't think a shill on this one...not with that huge of a jump......someone sees, or thinks they see, something about them....

Now the big question: why are these bidders bidding up these 2 ugly half cents?

The 1804 is the stemless wreath variety. I can't tell if it has the plain 4 or the crosslet 4 but neither are rare.
There's 2 varieties of the 1826, the one with the high leaf to the right of the S, and the one with the high leaf under the S.
This one in the auction is the high leaf right of the S, which is the more common of the two.
I'd bet Tinseltime doesn't get paid by his Zero feedback winning bidder.
