<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1167483, member: 15445&quot;]Funny you should ask.&nbsp; I got the owl for $200 below my max bid.&nbsp; I&#039;ll send you a PM with the hammer price now. </p><p><br /></p><p>I bid on 7 coins before the auction went live.&nbsp; I lost four of the seven to others that were willing to pay substantially more than my max bids.&nbsp; I promised myself that I would just place the max bids &amp; then check how I did after the auction.&nbsp; However, I peeked yesterday &amp; today.&nbsp; I did not raise my max bids but I did peek.&nbsp; There were two Central American coins that I placed legitimate high bids on &amp; they went for about twice what I bid &amp; I bid twice what the catalog says they are worth.&nbsp; One was a Costa Rica coin which is basically a 1 real counterstamp on a chunk of a cob.&nbsp; It looked nice &amp; probably graded EF.&nbsp; The other was a Guatemala 1 real graded NGC MS62.&nbsp; Both of these coins have the design with the sun-burst radiating over the mountains on one side &amp; the tree on the other.&nbsp; I lost them both.&nbsp; That is OK because I now have money left over for the coin show this weekend (sour grapes).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
