<p>[QUOTE="Bluetip84, post: 809499, member: 23028"]Every time I think i have something figured out in this world of collecting I get turned around again.

Within two minutes my (apparently) minuscule max bid had been replaced by several others and the price of the coin is now siting at $875 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie104" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> .
