Sedwick three session auction. Check-out all the neat world coins.

This post is just to bring your attention to the Sedwick auction being held on the Internet over the next couple days. There are several nice coins which I am hoping to buy. The following links are nice coins that I am not planning to bid on. They are just examples of some interesting items for your viewing pleasure.

Here is one of three Alexander the Great Tetradrachems:

I have about a half dozen coins bookmarked that I plan to go after. I plan to place my max bids & then see how I did on Sunday after all the dust settles.

Anyone else?....

Did anyone at CT get coins from the Sedwick auctions? I was outbid on several nice coins. I had my eyes on a couple South & Central American coins with counterstamps but the prices exceeded my max bids.

I was successful getting a high grade Brass Columbian Leprosy colony coin. I was also successful getting a very high grade 1 1/4 Centavo coin from the mid 1800s. I'll take photos when the coins arrive.

Anyone else?....

 

These are the only two world coins I got on the Sedwick auction. These are the seller's photos.

I was successful getting a US bust dollar. I'll post those photos as soon as I receive it from Daniel Sedwick.

 

Did anybody at CT buy coins from the Sedwick auctions?

 

I think if anyone did they would have replied by now

 

@Collect89: Did you manage to win all the coins you had your eye on?
Would you mind if I asked what the winning bid was for the coins you won?

 

I got a total of three out of six. The 1-1/2 Centavo had no competition so I got it at my starting bid of $20. The Leprosy coin had some interest at the same level as my max bid. I got it for my $50 max bid (or maybe my max was $60). These were both high grade, bright color, & have some pedigree so I expected to pay for them.

I got the Bust dollar in EF for about 60% of my max bid. I'm glad there were not any aggressive bidders working against me Apparently, there were not that many bidders in the Sedwick auction with interest in US material. This one, I'll post after I get it in hand.

The ones that I lost, I really lost big time. They were counterstamped coins of Brazil & Costa Rica that I thought might go for $150. All these counterstamped coins went for much more money than I was willing to pay.
