Assuming you're talking about ebay, I've seen you mention several times that you narrowly got outbid, that is likely not true. The bid increment at $100 is $2.50, the winner may have bid $5,000, but he would still only beat you by $2.50. |

I misunderstood what you said. Yes, they may have outbid me by a lot, but they still got it for $2.50 more than I was willing to pay which still sucks.  Edited by numismatic student

I did not call you a liar, I'm just telling you how it works. You keep saying you just lost by $2.50, $5.00 or whatever and I'm telling you that the reality is you have no idea what the winner bid. Only the winner and ebay does. He could have bid $2M dollars, it will still only show as one increment above your bid for the win. Been that way forever.  |

yes, I misunderstood what you said. As I said above, they may have outbid me by a lot, but they still bought the coin for $2.50 more than what I was willing to pay, which is frustrating.

I wouldn't have bid on it at all with all that rim damage.
EF45 tops, details.

Low AU sharpness, might not be a details coin but too dark for me.

AU-50 details. Eye appeal is terrible. This is what they look like when they sit in a leather pouch for 70 or 80 years.

doesn't sound right that you keep losing these by just a couple $. would make me think something is going on with the seller wanting a higher price and possibly a ghost bid going on.

@bobby says it exactly right - no one has any idea how how high any winning bidder would be willing to go.

It's a details coin with low eye appeal so I wouldn't lose any sleep over this one.
