I viewed the coin, the coin has AU details but it only has EF surfaces (probably why they assigned it the grading). There are a lot of surface hairlines in the obverse fields.

Were there many bidders on this coin?

I would guess the bidding wouldve opened at $1300 seeing as OMF bid $1200 via postal and you were $1300.

I was watching the bidding live online and it started pretty low
and there were bids in the room pushing it up so that means there were
at least 2 other bidders in the room.OK thanks

Ah ok I didnt know you could bid live. It would only take on bidder in the room to drive the price up because they would be bidding against OMF at $1200.

Sounds like someone on the floor had bid it up to $1100 but I'm just hoping
that I get what I paid for.No worries OMF its a pity there wasnt 2 of them so we
could get one each.I hadn't expected to go that high but I just clicked on the bid
button and that was it

Yeah I have heaps of high grade pre decimal and decimal coins that would be better
in slabs but I've been deliberating for a couple of years on how to go about it as the
thought of sending them away makes me nervous.I'll get around to it eventually

It opened at $500, Jim called $700 on behalf of a postal bidder, there was a room bid at $720, Jim called $900, there may have been a room bid at $920 but I didn't see it, but Jim then called $1200. Then there was a live auction bid at $1300.

In this case, Jim was acting proxy on behalf of a bidder to obtain the lot at any price up to that bidder's specified limit. Jim was bidding on behalf of that client in normal step increases.
