Message:: [QUOTE="Conder101, post: 578728, member: 66"]The S-1 was very worn with just the outline of the head ad four links of the chain on the reverse.  No real problems just wear.  That heavily worn and with no proper identification in the catalog I hoped to get it at around $1100.  It opened at $850 and I competed with the book up to my bid of $1250.  Next increment was $1350 but the book topped out at $1300.  If I had gone the $1350 I'd have bought it.  I'm still unsure of whether or not I should have done it. Yes the 03 NC-1 is still an R-5+ but I already have over 40 pieces in my collection at that level or higher, and R-5+ is rather low for an NC. The NC is easier to come by than the S-198 I could have won if I had gone the last bid of $700.  But I passed on it because I already have one.  That one would have been an upgrade.[/QUOTE]
