Can't say it looks like an MS64+ to me. Maybe your inexperienced bidders are using the asyn guide to grading?

I noticed that on ebay that if you are known as a niche seller (ie Canada coins, errors, etc) then you tend to get better prices because your name gets around. Seems to me that is the case. All it takes is 2 people fighting over it. Don't know if this is the case with your but seems like it. The high bidder looks like he bid quite a few times or just has a huge bid in.

Either way, it will be fun to watch at the end.

I know what you mean. I can't sell Canadian coins for have of book value. It was to the point I was selling common Canadian large cents in VF for under $1 and would have to list them numerous times to get them to sell.

Can't understand what's goin on here. There are no varieties known to this date and the trend value for this particular coin is a mere $20.00.

Amazing, nearly 100 dollars for that penny I usually see those in 3-5 dollar junk bins even in that shape.

Lets just hope you get paid. I have had a few strange excuses from buyers backing out of auctions that they won. One was "my 2 year old got hold of my computer and bid on your item". And of course when it was re-listed, it did not go for near the original auction sale price.

Three different bidders all bidding over 89.00, hmmmm. The 3 bidders have lower feedback so this must be lack of knowledge.
