<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBlade00, post: 1416396, member: 37468&quot;]You&#039;re right that it was the first lot of that size that the seller sold. They also had another lot of coins (MANY more coins, but less valuable) that I was originally more interested in. I had a feeling this person didn&#039;t really know what they had, which is more what I want to find. I like the idea of &quot;treasure hunting&quot; in much the same way I did when I first got my dad&#039;s coins. I was in contact with the seller and had setup a deal for $3200 for EVERYTHING they had left (basically both auctions) if they didn&#039;t get bid on. The lot I won didn&#039;t get bid on originally and was relisted, I wasn&#039;t really worried about it at first. However, the 15 morgans lot ended first and got a bid or two on it with like 30 mins left. This made me worried that I would miss out on the entire lot. I wasn&#039;t wanting to spend more than $3500-3600 for EVERYTHING so it would mean that the other lot wouldn&#039;t be able to get any bidders either (it was starting at $1500 with no bidders and about 2 hours left). I sniped the morgans lot at 2k, which I wasn&#039;t really comfortable with but figured it would even out once I got the other lot. There were more graded morgans in the other lot (greysheet $1000 for 5 morgans) with a TON of other stuff. With about 30 minutes left in the second auction, it started getting action. I waited until the very end and it was sitting at $1700. I put in a bid of $2100 as my MAX with 5 seconds left. Needless to say I lost it, with 1 second left... for $25. I was FUMING since this was really the auction that I wanted. I know I would have ended up ahead after going through everything, after adding just the main stuff up it greysheeted for $2500-3000+, then there were piles of things that they didn&#039;t list out that I could see some of in the pictures plus some other stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>Moral of the story is I didn&#039;t get what I wanted originally and am hoping that a few of these upgrade! If the 1892 upgrades, I will have doubled my money from one coin and the rest is gravy <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for the 4k auction, if the estimates are even close I will have done alright. And if that 1891CC is a 65 I&#039;ll be even, if it&#039;s a 66 (as claimed, which I HIGHLY doubt) then I&#039;ll be eating confetti![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
