Hard to tell with the coin at that angle, but I think someone snagged a high grade 1906 small crown quarter for a wicked good price in that lot...

Methinks you might be right.
Wonder if the winning bidder knows?

Based on the bids, I'd say the winner definitely knows, but the underbidder was't very sure about it.

Is it dished, with the Rev inset and the Obv slightly pushed out? I never knew that the coin was as rare as the auction price suggests.

Nice hit. The obverse wears that way because of the somewhat hi relief. I wonder what a die study would reveal on this transitional issue. Is there more than one reverse small crown die?

That would be an expensive die study!!
