    Just so you're aware, it's normally considered a no-no on this board to post coins currently on auction. :shy:

    I am not bidding on this coin, so it doesn't affect me, but in general it is considered best to wait until after an auction has ended before you draw attention to any specific lot.

    Imagine if you had placed a bid on this coin and then 15 people suddenly bid against you because they were directed to it by a post in a discussion group. Ouch. Grumble, grumble.
