These kind of debates are always fun. Please don't take this as an attack, but just some fun discussion. Obviously you are correct that history is...
Thought I'd try something a bit different. I know the title may sound a bit obnoxious, but I'm hoping this will be fun. I'd like to buy a coin....
That's a stunning coin and definitely a important reminder of history! However, I did notice a few historical inaccuracies. Kassander didn't...
A long, long time ago in a place not so far away, there lived a man named Zopyrion. He was a Macedonian under Alexander the Great, and had been...
I think so. You can check Williams to be sure. Note that the earlier Phokis coinage looks similar. IMHO only the Phokis coinage from ~356 BCE to...
This discussion reminds me of a practice my son has. He runs a sports card breaking business, and whenever someone pulls a Henry Ruggs (involved...
I don't think it's the aim of this thread to identify which coins are cursed vs not-cursed. :) IMHO it's really in the jurisdiction of the...
I went 1/2, after somehow going 6/6 in their last auction. I'm pretty happy with this one that I won. [ATTACH] KINGS OF BITHYNIA. Ziailas, circa...
So, you're saying that women get one month for history and men take the other eleven? :) Here are some Hellenistic examples. For those interested...
FWIW, I gladly collect coins from evil regimes/rulers. I also (arguably) have a Judea Capta - which wasn't a great time for my ancestors....
Recently, when I realized I had some budget after unexpectedly losing a coin at auction, I pulled up my Pri 1 list and remembered that there was...
I believe the algorithm is different. You can divide it into two parts - pre-bid and live. Pre-bid Given a bid for x CHF on item foo: Is the bid...
My suspicion is the system tracks pre-bids vs live bids in separate tables. This makes sense since the pre-bids generate far less...
Because my automatic bid of 650 and his bid of 605 occurred "simultaneously" Since mine was higher, it became the current bid.
Many thanks to all who have responded! As I suspected, this was a case of me not understanding how the auction works fully. IMHO, it's still not...
Same here. I went 1 for 2 yesterday and 6 for 6 at their last auction. Only one reached my max bid. They take a while to invoice and ship, but in...
I believe you're close to what happened. Their system only enters my max of 750 when it's forced to increment. Since his bid of 755 and my bid of...
That's not the winning bid. For comparison, here's one where I did the same exact thing. I initially bid 500, then upped my bid to 550 a few days...
My bid question, though, is how did a bid of 755 beat a bit of 750 when the bid increment is 50? Wouldn't he have had to bid 800?
No, I'm kirispupis. If it helps, the following is what my end of Leu showed. 2/18 (before I bid) - highest bid is 380 CHF 2/18 (after I bid 700...
