I'm not clever enough to have used a secret message but I strongly suspected that this round would have to be repeated due to non-sale of the coin. I forgot to put this one on my watch list so I don't know if it sold or not.

Maybe we should have a rule that any auctions used should have a low starting price.

Wheezy was right, it did not sell.

With an opening bid of $799, I have decided that this is where the "final" price has fallen. Whether the or not the coin sold is usually irrelevant if the goal is to see how close we are to a current market price for a coin.

This round's guesses ranged from $0 to $1650, with an average of almost $955. I have no problem that the coin did not sell, as long as there is a reasonable high bid on the coin. In this case, I think there is.

So unless someone wants to file a protest, here are the results for Round 3.

Well, I hate to cut my own throat here.........but I knew the minimum opening bid on this coin, didn't think it would sell & put $799 down as a guess figuring if anyone bid it would be at the opening price. I think we should do the round over.

I don't think that's such a good idea. I've pretty much used up what I consider "good" coins for a round. Anything I have left I either bought on the forum, which means the price is available to anyone that searches, or it's common stuff with a narrow range of market prices.

I do think we should limit ongoing auctions to ones that have a low starting price. Even if the reserve wasn't met we would still know what an acceptable sale price was.

I did a search & found the completed auction. Although $799 was the minimum allowed opening bid nobody bid that amount.

I wanted to be fair to anyone that participated in this round, but may miss participating in a do-over (and having five well earned points taken away).

I will host the next round.
