It is rated as Very Rare
and is in rather nice condition.
Also, the price of $350 seemed
to be a steal for this one.

<< <i>Congrats... yes the token / medal auction had several really good deals, we picked up a bunch of top pop pieces at bargain basement prices...go figure.... and yet some very common items went for 2-3 times what we would sell em for? >>
That was my impression also. Lots of stupid-high prices, but some bargains too. I expected to be totally shut out, and I ended up winning one lot after all. And I as underbidder on several lots that I didn't really want, but put in low bids "just in case".
The US Mint medals in the first section were even weirder. That had items setting new price records by 2x or 4x, followed by others that sold for prices that haven't been that low in the last decade.
Very weird.
If anyone attending the auction has explanations for the high/low prices, I'd love to hear comments (or even theories).

You picked up some nice ones
All from my consignment .. still mad at Heritage for listing them at the end of the auction.
But I'm happy that you got them .. they are nice .. I've collected them for about 20 years .. just love the shape, the size, the weight, the color and the history.
take care .. tj

Congrats and let me give you a bear hug!
Thanks again @yosclimber. I cant thank you enough
I noticed that one the rare ones the prices have gone extremely higher.
Now I need to decide whether to gulp and buy or hold on and continue searching.
I remember bear had accumulated at least 20 of them. But does anyone know where they are now?
Maybe he sold them to acquire his last coin collection?
Or maybe they just have been sold off bit by bit.

OMG, heart skipped few beats when I saw this one.
Miss his eloquent calming wisdom.
I feel like having a jelly donut, in his honor of course.
Sad to remember the passing on Bear and others that have left us.
May they RIP
Amen
