Auction purchase: How’d I do?

I recently won this lot in an auction. What would your max bid have been?



Here’s what I paid:

$145? Hmmm. Maybe I should check the spoiler?

 

Well, the 1911 and 1912 nickels aren't worth more than a couple of bucks each. We can pretty much ignore them.

The 88 nickel looks to be borderline EF-40, so raw maybe $125?

The 67 No Rays I think has VF details but green issues that need to be taken care of before you can sell it. Problem free that would be $50? With the issues I can't be more than half that.

1909S Quarter is a VF-20. NGC lists that at $100.

I'd be at $125 absolute max on this lot.

"How did you do?" is a very subjective question based on what you want to do with these coins. If they fit into your set (or there are one or two you want to cherrypick and sell the others), then a stronger price may be warranted.

If you are trying to resell them and paid full retail ($150), you got hosed.

 

Click the spoiler. He probably did just fine if he likes the coins to keep.
