Oh my goodness $2K? It would nice to have but not at the end of auction price. What am I missing on this? http://www.greatcollections.com/Coi...1-PCGS-AU-55 Edited by oih82w8 10/06/2013 9:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Today at the Radisson in NH there was an auction of time pieces. The first lot was the exception: several numismatic items. I had my eye on one and I set my limit at $40. It passed 40 and sold at $70. Still, it was fun to sit in and watch for 10 minutes. Stick by your guns and may you have better luck next time. ( The lots of silver dollars did quite well, nothing special, but the interesting but unpopular items went for well under estimate.)

kookoox10 Pillar of the Community United States 1054 Posts	Posted 10/07/2013 11:21 am Probably not an often seen grade for the variety, there are a lot of lowball examples of this coin in the marketplace. In any event, two somebody's wanted it real badly. Report this Post to the Staff
