 Beats me what happened. Just a couple of days ago an NGC ms 65 sold for $50.00. I would have bailed out on this one about $86.99 earlier.

That's the great thing about auctions. On any given day...

He may have been hoping for a 66, way to many hits on the obv.

Hits on both the obv. and more so on the reverse...if they wanted a 66 they ain't gonna get it.

It's a good looking coin.
After a soak in acetone it might go as an NGC MS-65+ PL.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

I once asked a buyer why they paid a couple hundred for a common insulator on ebay. They said money was no object to them and that their hobby was the excitement in bidding on ebay. It happens. I would think there is also not always a numismatic reason for auctioned coins.

Quote: I would think there is also not always a numismatic reason for auctioned coins. That certainly can be true on things that are scare or rarely if ever show up like some world coins, but in this case more than likely the buyer was thinking it's a 66 which if it was would be a steal

Earle42 you may be correct, I find they never bid on my auctions though. Very disappointing.  I need more crazy bidders to max out my coin sales that I'm doing to fund some family medical bills (again).

Thanks for the replies and Welcomes, everyone.
USSID18, that's a very illuminating chart. Care to divulge where it's from?
Looks like I'm in the MS63-and-below club. (Of course, couple of drinks, ok, maybe bid on that MS64...)

Unreal. Ungraded no less. I would expect that if it were with the 2,372 others in PCGS MS64. And that's being generous with something from a guy named Bubba.
