I always did too. However - " ... at the sole discretion of the auctioneer."
When I first looked at this coin my thought was a common weak strike, harshly cleaned and and retoned. But on closer inspection, that coin wasn't...
The Visa was to confirm you're old enough and have the credit. The wire or check is because if they let you pay with Visa it cost them 2 1/2 - 3%....
