[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 2903365, member: 83845"]Wow that's a fantastic coin! Thank you for sharing! In my experience bidding competitions do happen on JA's auctions, particularly with very desirable types. The difference between those competitions and the bidding 'wars' you sometimes see on CNG and large auctions where a coin sells for 1000% of its estimate is that in the latter auctions you can have two or more collectors with huge resources that become more focused on 'winning' the coin than owning the coin. CT members are less likely to get that territorial once the coin price passes too far beyond anticipated market value. (This is just my observation... JA might disagree). For what it's worth I have bid in several of JA's auctions and have been involved in a few bidding competitions as well. I have also bought direct from him. All of the transactions I have been involved with JA on have been fair to both parties and for this reason I will continue to be a customer of his as long as I am a collector (I.E. for life). Here is a coin I had to bid a few times against some of my CT friends to acquire! [ATTACH=full]699750[/ATTACH] EDIT TO ADD: See above :rolleyes: JA rocks!![/QUOTE]
