Totally blew it on this one. I spotted this 1935
DDR a few days ago and marked it on my reminders. For whatever numbskull reason, I didn't set an audible alarm on my phone. I checked the listing about 30 minutes before the auction end, and then promptly lost track of time while preparing lunch and hanging out with my dog. By the time I realized what had happened, the coin had sold for a mere $1.25. With free shipping, that poor seller probably took a loss on the sale.
I hope it was one of you guys who scooped up that coin!
