I seriously doubt that any of the winners were shill bidders. The seller could make a large profit on each coin without risking a non-sale to a shill.
Hi John (jmc7983), I clicked 'Here' and got to spend some quiet time with your collection. Must say it is pretty darn impressive and I cannot determine what coins I like best. Your 55 Lincoln is just about as perfect as it can possibly be. Those 76-76 Bicentennial quarters are great... are they mostly uncirculated? Lots of questions and I don't expect you to answer all. Thanks for sharing. jeankay
It's very simple. Some of us don't have a conscience. I could easily rip people off like that and I wouldn't lose a minutes sleep over it. But I have a higher set of personal ethical standards that I have chosen to follow
