Interesting question - I can see in some cases it would and it some cases it would not. Sorry you did not win the coin.
Also note that the auction closed on a Thursday night - wasn't that also one of those nights that had a lower number of bids and/or bidders? I...
Beautiful coin. I think we have see it before - maybe one of lance's.
