I registered on Stacksbowers and received a $0 bidding limit. I emailed and then received a call back from one of their customer service representatives. He emailed me an application for a credit limit increase. He said that they're pretty agreeable. You just have to show where you've bid on other online auctions and perhaps some banking information.
Anyone want to guess what these are going to go for?

Alpha2814, thanks for the link. I'm going to bid, but I'll wait until the actual auction. This is going to be interesting.

#1008 is the one to watch. It's the very first of these to be struck and is graded at PF70. Others like that cruddy #1005 are only PF69.

Lowest current bid is already out of reach. Good luck to you high rollers!  |

That was just someone's guess at the time. There was no real way to know because one had never been sold.

Does anyone know the opening bid amount?

coins 1001 to 1007 have detailed tail feathers---1008 doesn't----wonder if it is just the image contrast---

1007 does have the detailed tail feathers. I think that it's just a picture thing. Wouldn't that be cool if it was different though. It would be a unique coin that is the key to the series.

Sorry. I'm misread what you wrote. You are correct. 1008 doesn't have detailed tail feathers because it's a 2025.

. 1008 doesn't have detailed tail feathers because it's a 2025. The first 7 are the "space" coins (22Karat gold). The 2025 isn't one of them - it is the 24Karat gold 25th anniversary commemorative coin. |
