Neat group of pioneer gold on eBay today

Yeah, it's bad form to post about eBay listings while they're still open... but I'm going to do it anyway. 
This is a neat group. It's clear from the current bids that nothing is going to fly under the radar. I was watching one mis-listed piece that I thought _might_ slip through. Nope!
At the moment, the listings have 25 to nearly 80 watchers apiece -- which, for those who don't know eBay, is a lot.
One of them is already bid over $15K, which is also unusual for eBay. It takes some guts to lay out $15K to an eBay seller, even with a good return policy, for a raw coin. In the last two weeks worth of completed listings, there were only 5 sales over $15K in all of the US Coins categories, and four of those were bullion deals.
I'm curious to see where things end up at.

Too bad they are ALL problem coins

Why is it bad form? I see no problem with posting an interesting or unusual eBay listing unless you are the seller in which case it would be spamming.

Cool, thanks!
On the eBay iPhone app, I can filter completed auctions, by only completed/sold items. Anyone know if is there an option to do that on the full version. I have looked and looked, but have never found it.
thanks in advance.

I was watching and bidding on that all week. Someone bought it for $8100. That assumes AU++.
I thought it looked like a nice, original coin.
Perhaps I don't have a clue how to grade it.

I am thinking that it will go for in the $12-15k range.

It's the only coin in the group which has a chance at being slabbed as problem-free!

I thought the $10 and $20 Assay pieces did, as well.
The "Mountain" $10 and the Bechtler $5 were harshly cleaned.
The Kellogg was tooled.
I think the Moffat $5 and the $50 Humbert were the best deals.
The Clark Gruber has heavy hairlines, but great detail. I think it went cheap.
I thought the slug was the single best deal. The picture was crummy, but the downside looks like zero to me, and the upside looks like a double. Then again, I have never owned one.

Didn't you teach me years ago that there's no price too low for a problem coin??
