  • << <i>This lot is in: Floor Session >>


    Internet bidding ends at 10:00PM CT the night before the floor session for this lot. During the live auction event, bidding in person is encouraged, and Heritage Live includes streaming audio and often video during the event. image


    that means no one will bid only by internet, unless they are very serious.

    I have found power in the mysteries of thought.

    It is always a question of knowing and seeing, and not that of believing.

    Our virtues, and our failings are inseparable, like force, and matter. When they separate, man is no more.

    I just sold this one for over $100,000. It is the Snow-1

    image

    This is a Snow-2

    NGC still lists this as 1888/887 but about ten years ago Lakesamman proved that it is actually 1888/1888.
    Link to article

    I think it is worth between $2,500 and $4,000.

    Saint - play wit yer Indian gold if you wanna - but stay away from the IHC proofs, fer cryin' out loud.

    I need something for my set and I certainly can't afford the S-1!

    That is a new price record for this one though

    Not really. I know a major dealer that made the same mistake maybe five years ago, but the price was much higher. Tough way to learn.
