<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 7841994, member: 97383"]I forced myself to sit through most of this auction in awe <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Most of the prices were shocking, & it looks like many bidders were buying the slabs & not the coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I bid on 4 coins & was steam-rolled again <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.
