<p>[QUOTE="MSG 78, post: 4517360, member: 112660"]Yep, we missed the estimate on that Probus. It happens. Fortunately there is enough activity in our sales that the bidders catch the mistake, as here. Dave and I were watching the sale and both immediately realized, as you noted, what was the story with that coin. Several of us look at the sale within 24 hours of it going live to try to catch any mistakes. But even then, one sometimes gets by us. If it's a description mistake or an omission of a necessary detail that impacts the price (smoothing or tooling for example) we generally pull the lot and you see it as "withdrawn". It will get corrected and placed in another auction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
