gidjit Pillar of the Community Canada 1980 Posts	Posted 05/23/2013 9:39 pm i cant figure out why this coin has hit such a high price so early in the auction. I know its an obverse 3 but I dont think it is worth what it is going for, am I missing something here? http://www.ebay.com/itm/31067359958....m1555.l2649 Report this Post to the Staff

Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 05/23/2013 10:24 pm Whenever I see a bidder bidding so many times in a row, I see the situation as abnormal. Report this Post to the Staff
Coin Chick Pillar of the Community Canada 1354 Posts	Posted 05/24/2013 10:48 am It's your auction.. You should know what it is or maybe research it before you put it up for sale....the coin is in your hands to look at. Either you missed something or the bidders aren't very bright. Either way it sounds like you are getting more for it than you intended, so enjoy it! Report this Post to the Staff
tfred Pillar of the Community Canada 627 Posts	Posted 05/24/2013 11:08 am Are you sure its not an obverse #2? An obv. #2 in VF lists for $65. I can't tell from the pic. Report this Post to the Staff
kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 05/24/2013 3:17 pm Looks like a 3a to me with the large serif centre bar E. I would just chalk it up to two inexperienced/enthusiastic bidders who might each be assuming the other knows something they don't. @petersun Some people just like to bid that way. You get to recognize them after they've been around a while. The odd time it's shill bidding so it does raise a flag for me to check into their bidding history a little more but I wouldn't say it was always abnormal. p.s. Just to be clear I DON'T think and am NOT implying or insinuating or anything else that @gidjit is shill bidding his own auction here! Report this Post to the Staff
Jerry_B Valued Member Canada 453 Posts	Posted 05/30/2013 10:17 pm Auction ended with no new bids since the flurry on the 23rd. By the way, gidjit, your 1858 did nicely, I think Report this Post to the Staff
