Goldberg Coins put their Pre-Long Beach Show auction on EBay's Live Auction system, and I placed three bids, to compete with the floor bidders, fax bidders, and phone bidders. The majority of the lots I checked were going at the high end of the pre-auction estimates, or better, but this one closed below the estimate, even with another bidder in the game. Both of my other bids were near the high end of the estimates, but I was blown out of the water by floor bidders on another silver yen, and a gold 10 yen.
