<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4965981, member: 19463&quot;]How many remember AMCC1 and how it happened that lot number one was won on the first day of December and lot two was won on the second?</p><p><a href="https://www.amcoinscanada.com/past-auctions" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amcoinscanada.com/past-auctions" rel="nofollow">https://www.amcoinscanada.com/past-auctions</a></p><p>Those new here since AMCC2 might benefit from examining the results of the past two sales as guides for the actual value of coins rather than the dream numbers you see on many online sales.&nbsp; There are very nice coins that drew some good competition and some pretty poor coins that either went unsold or well below the hopes of their consignors.&nbsp; For example:</p><p><a href="https://www.biddr.com/auctions/amcoinscanada/browse?a=808&amp;l=846623" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.biddr.com/auctions/amcoinscanada/browse?a=808&amp;l=846623" rel="nofollow">https://www.biddr.com/auctions/amcoinscanada/browse?a=808&amp;l=846623</a></p><p>This was a very decent Probus with sharp reverse that sold for a bit under three times the start price with seven bids from four different bidders.&nbsp; This is the&nbsp; kind of competition that makes auctions fun.&nbsp; The consignor (me) actually made a few $$$ on this one (almost as much as he lost on the next lot below).</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.biddr.com/auctions/amcoinscanada/browse?a=808&amp;l=846889" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.biddr.com/auctions/amcoinscanada/browse?a=808&amp;l=846889" rel="nofollow">https://www.biddr.com/auctions/amcoinscanada/browse?a=808&amp;l=846889</a></p><p>This was a lot of ten coins that might be termed &#039;also ran&#039; but are still better than most of what we see posted by our new members and certainly better than what we see from uncleaned lots at $4 a coin.&nbsp; The point here is there were coins in AMCC2 for a variety of interests and bargains for people in the low end brackets. </p><p><br /></p><p>Will there be a similar spread in the low-medium range next time?&nbsp; Will there be more even better coins that might interest you entry level high rollers who never win when bidding at CNG?&nbsp; I have no idea since I have not seen the lots.&nbsp; I have no idea if there will be anything I want to bid on or not but I will look to see and will follow with interest coins I don&#039;t want (mostly the expensive ones) to see how close I can come to guessing the results.&nbsp; I like smaller sales since I am not able to compete with the Big Dogs that frequent the big name sales.&nbsp; A kitchen remodel project will keep me from bidding heavily.&nbsp; What is your excuse?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
