I believe Heritage and Stacks have both taken estimates out of their printed auction catalogs. I am not sure why. But the estimates are still on...
Thank you! DG and his wife had a baby this past week. They are all doing well. He is indeed a great guy.
Funny thing is, the prices in the past couple months have been exceptionally high. Although I stand by the statement that, in your case, $300 was...
As promised, I am opening a new thread to get your thoughts on auction estimates. At CNG we have always tried to estimate coins at what we think...
You raise a point I might start a new thread on - estimates. But to the first point, it takes two bidders to drive prices way beyond what is...
I don't know that any of these collectors are collecting by die. But I think die varieties are fair game. Like you, I collected incuse coinage by...
This was a common thread on Facebook as well. Here is the fact. The bidder that bought a great deal of the early lots in CNG 114 was a dealer....

I am the owner of CNG. I kept entering usernames and they were already taken. Finally I settled on my initials and year of graduation. Nothing...
The HA software is very good. But in a live auction they are still entering the bids manually. A computer can't see someone raise a paddle in the...
Stacks also uses Auction Mobility. It virtually the identical software we used in this sale. There was no beta testing going on. The only thing...
No the book bid was not exposed before it was reached.
Again I state, we didn't reveal proxy bids. I am not sure who posted this but it is just not true.
We never announced what the maximum book bid was during bidding. I am not sure how this got into the thread here. We would never do that, and I...
That isn't what happened. The only time a book max bid was announced was when the live bidder exactly tied the maximum book bid. This is standard...
It was only the latter. The book only ever got mentioned if there was a tie bid between the high floor bid and the high book bid.
The only time a book bid (or prebid as you might call it) was ever discussed was when the live bid exactly tied the high book bid. This tie must...
