<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1319686, member: 27832&quot;]As I expected -- an unsuccessful auction (top bid $95K, reserve not met).</p><p><br /></p><p>To Mr. Howard, should he decide to revisit this thread: You probably can&#039;t expect a reasonable offer on this lot if you can&#039;t provide a reasonable representation of its contents. If people can&#039;t even tell how much the lot contains, never mind check the authenticity and quality of the higher-value coins, they&#039;re going to underbid for safety&#039;s sake. This is way beyond the &quot;Storage Wars&quot; realm, where people will overbid because they <i>might</i> get a treasure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even your smaller lots all closed without reaching their reserves. I had my own eye on your lot of Morgan and Peace dollars, but I wouldn&#039;t even have outdone the high bidder, never mind met whatever your reserve is. A lot of the keys, especially the 1928&#039;s, looked to be harshly cleaned, and that made it hard to have confidence in the rest. I would&#039;ve gone well over melt, but without a better look at the coins, it&#039;s just too hard to determine a fair price.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wish you luck with these lots. It looks like you&#039;ve got some good stuff, but it also looks like you&#039;ll have more work than you expected to get rid of it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
