<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 473814, member: 15309&quot;]Well Doug, the bidders at the Houston Sale disagreed with you big time.&nbsp; The coin is graded as an MS68* FB and I placed a bid that I thought was extremely competitive at 38% over Numismedia Wholesale.&nbsp; The coin sold for $1,265 which is a 52% premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I have no problem with the grade of the coin regardless of the origins of the toning.&nbsp; The colors on this coin are very uncommon and as we all know, beauty is in the eye of the holder.&nbsp; I will be honest, I expected to win this auction.&nbsp; I did not realize how many other toning freaks would find this kind of toning attractive.&nbsp; I fully expected the bidding to be in line with the comments written in this thread.&nbsp; I am the only person in this thread who even remotely thinks the coin is worth a premium.&nbsp; I thought that general consensus would hold true with the bidders in the auction, and was very surprised that I was wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh well, better luck next time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
