On the Taler front it got very competitive. I am seeing hightened demand and perhaps a very weak dollar being a disadvantage for us local bidders.
Anyone have any wins to post? I will post mine soon.

1745 Lima Shilling, MS63. The Brits loved to brag a little back in the day, after Admiral Anson aboard the "Centurion" whipped a Spanish Galleon and sacked the port in Lima they marked the gold and silver issues made with the metal with the Lima mark. This one I needed for my Shilling type set.
1806 Farthing in 66 BN, I needed one of these for my Geo. III type set.
1860 Toothed Border Penny in 65RB, note the huge die crack running across the reverse. This one goes in my Vicky penny set.
1935 VIP Proof 66 BN Halfpenny, Freeman 425, R18, 6-15 known, this one fits in my "gosh isn't that a cool coin set".

I have a few bids out for today but was not a contender.
Well, just Love coins, period.
I stretched and overpaid for this one in spite of the few plachett flaws, given the sharp details, strike, and well above average overall presentation.

Time to redecorate the dog house, because I'll be moving in.

Edited to add the Heritage lot description:
Estado 4 Reales 1851-G, KM20a, XF45 NGC, much original color on this well centered and nearly fully stuck example.
The slight flan crudeness is appealing and it is unlikely this example entered circulation. Ex-Amon Carter collection (1988).
From The Dana Roberts Collection. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $40 in VF, $175 in EF.
Well, just Love coins, period.

Another amazing price noted was a rare date 1934 semi-key 20 Mil Palestine in Anacs MS64 (that should have no problem crossing) fetch an astounding $3700 almost triple what it sold for a few years ago. I believe that may actually be the highest price ever paid for a Palestine mandate coin.

If currency, RARE, but who can rightly tell, not sure if NGC grading does any favour as I have seen them grade Maundy 3d as currency before.
Well, just Love coins, period.
Didn't Bruce Lorich catalog the British stuff in the sale? I would think he would be able to tell.

I won a couple of insignificant pieces in the Monday marathon - an 1884 6d and 1901 raw shilling. The latter was a bit weird in that I thought I missed it completely.
While trying to bid on the '01 shilling, it turned out that Heritage thought I was bidding on the next lot, which I didn't want. Fortunately, I was substantially outbid by the end.
That real has beautiful toning

Great pick-ups, everyone! Andy, that 2 Reales is a really neat error. Especially for $100.
The obverse can many times be telltale as many times obverse dies were used for multiple years so a lot of die wear/erosion seen. On the other hand the reverses are dated and so are prepared each year anew, therefor many times likely to not show as much wear or damage.
What is interesting on this coin, which is known to have a low reported mintage, is that it has somewhat sharp striking of devices but that the edges and border teeth have characteristics of currency (rounded and worn border which speak more to planchet prep prior to striking rather than wear, and the teeth which are rather uneven in application and crude). Lettering crudeness and errors, and die cracks even large in size can also be seen on Maundy pieces....Well, I will not run on here so sorry.

I did manage to pick up a bird of paradise 10 Pfennig from German New Guinea that is in a PCGS MS64RB holder, later in the internet only.
