Once in a blue moon do I encounter what I call a turkey shoot auction where the lots are going "cheap" (in my opinion), and I think this one was...

Does dipping in EZest affect a cameo look on silver proof cameo coins (e.g., Franklin half dollar)? I often see proof silver coins that are...
The colors are awesome!
Uh ... um ... I don't know how to say this politely, but ... you need a maid. :)
Fortunate for the consignor that at least 2 bidders noticed. Imagine if only 1 had noticed, and the consignor subsequently realized that what he...
Yeh, forgot that CAC also had eyes on the coin, smh. I've seen Heritage Auctions, in their lot descriptions, question whether the grade given by...
Thank you. Mystery solved. That at least explains the disparate difference in price. It's great that Heritage Auctions provides an archive of...

Yeh, like beaucoup crazy, lol. I'm thinking maybe the bidder made a typo in placing his/her bid? But I would think the bidder would have caught...
Continuation of OP: In all fairness, I guess I should have included the PCGS Retail Price Guide values for a 1901 Morgan Dollar in MS-61 and...
