<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 1190792, member: 6641&quot;]It was last weeks Spink Smythe auction.&nbsp; The other phone bid I was set up for was item 355, a McKinley signed pesidential document.&nbsp; The engravings were really nice and the size (18x20) would have been perfect for a spot in my home office. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I also looked at a couple British Trade Dollars but did not set up a item to bid on.&nbsp; I think it was item 86 that had my interest.&nbsp; I talked about it with the auctioneer when they called for the McKinley piece.&nbsp; He had set the prices in the catalog for the coins and he said that market (British Trade Dollars) is on fire!&nbsp; He said the Chineese were buying them all as they have such a strong connection with their use.&nbsp; He said all of the BTD went way above the high estimates.&nbsp; One pictured in the catalog went for 8.5K.&nbsp; How does someone pay 8.5K for a 1 ounce silver coin?&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Congrats on your buy!&nbsp; The people at Spinks are really nice to deal with.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Best Regards ~ Darryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
