Grrr.... wound is still sore. There was a 25 centimes, 50 centimes, and 1 franc on Heritage last week. The 25 and 50 were 67, and franc was 66. The "estimate" was around $60-$75 each, which I knew was ridiculously low - so I bid $300 each. This is the only one I got (for $282). The other two went for $423 each, after bp. At that price, I couldn't afford all three.... but I certainly wasn't expecting them to go that high
Apparently the auction house wasn't either. These are still very much under-rated in the minds of many collectors. But congrats on getting at least the one
