    I was amazed at how much the half cent error coins were going for.....I didn't think this esoteric area had that much of a following!
    And as usual I see the non-error large cents in today's auction are already pre-bid higher than my bids image

    Aw crap I meant to place a couple of low-ball bids in that sale, though it sounds like I would have been shut out anyway. Good to see the error coin market doing well.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    << <i>that's an impressive lincoln set you have there >>



    Yes , I agree very impressive! I'm just going to guess that 1961 was a special year for you? Or, did you just run across a bunch of 61s you just couldn't live without?image

    I agree... I know very little about half cents and even less about error coins. but during lot viewing I saw the two 1804 Spiked Chin obverse brockages and thought they were awesome. So I put in a bid on the better of the two based on the catalog estimates and what I could reasonably afford to put towards a coin I knew pretty much nothing about. Of course the coin sold for around 10x what I thought it was worth!!!! image They were definitely awesome coins, but apparently someone thought they were a lot more awesome that I did.

    I fell asleep at the wheel and missed the auction too.

    The lot I was interested in sold for far less then I had expected.

    If it shows up in a dealers inventory and it's not being severely prostituted I'll buy it as it would still cost me less IMHO then had I entered the bidding on it.

    I bid 1800 on a phony and would have gone higher -- this copper stuff is brutal

    Looks like the brockages were rather popular.

    I was there for most of the night and only bought about half a dozen pieces. Tough room.
