Well I got my bids in, decided it would be better to save the travel time on this one, so I won't make it up to Toronto... Ended up placing bids on around 15 lots that I felt were strong, but I feel like depending on the action at the actual auction, I feel I am just as likely to win all as to be outbid on every single one...

It will be VERY interesting to see the results of this sale, and I think it will be a great litmus test for the state of the Canadian coin market... I have a feeling PCGS population reports will explode especially on the Victorian copper, I do know a couple of American buyers who will be going very heavy on a couple of coins for their registry sets...

Anyways, enjoy the live auction to those attending!

There are a few unattributed varieties being offered.

In the huge selection of 1899's alone I can see one group of gem 99's with a RP 9 in the group of 5 cents..

For anyone going..getting a close look at those lots will offer some "best of" surprises..with those gem cents..

Some very nice bids in there already..

Well a fellow collector and I are going in on this auction together... hopefully pooled resources will help grab a lot or two...

I'm in the party of putting in a bid and just praying it holds... I don't like watching the auctions live.. too much of a tendency to hit "bid again" when I've reached my limit... (yup I'm one of those!) With this auction and all the nice surprises that could really get me in trouble... I'm just glad I go for pretty marginal items but I still see me spending a whole LOT more than I should.. bawahahha just have to cut back on the beer for awhile I say.

1889 is a key date in that series.. I think trends has F-15 around $2200....


That's my point, even with the current soft market, key dates are still bringing 50-60+% of Trends, not 30%. I wish I could be there in person to see it, perhaps it has been cleaned or is impaired in some other way.
