<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 8271890, member: 86498&quot;]There may be many reasons for an agent to use a phone to bid. One of them might be that the agent is in direct contact with his&nbsp; client on another line orchestrating his bids. I should make a note here that three of the most active agents within the community are women.&nbsp; Another factor may be the problem with computer glitches. On two occasions within the last year I had my computer freeze during a bid and I lost the coin.&nbsp; Yet another factor may be that the agent is bidding on behalf of a number of clients. During a live auction at the 2020 Triton XXIII I saw one agent with something like seven different bidding paddles. This was done so that each client would receive a separate invoice from the auction house. It was not that long ago that auction houses like Kuenker out of Germany did not have an on line bidding platform, and in those cases I had to use a phone. (or employ an agent.)&nbsp; A coin I won with the assistance of an agent who was most likely using a phone. </p><p>Hieronymous Ar 10 Litrai 215-214 BC Obv Head right diademed.

This was before Kunker had an on line presence.&nbsp; The agent was able to confirm that the coin was a nice looking specimen and that it was from the Prinz Waldeck Sale back in October 1935[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
