Last night around 11:00PM I checked the Munzenonline site to see the AV 1492 Doppelter Goldgulden. Not being able to afford that coin/ I put a low proxybid on a FDC 1719 Zurich Doppelter Dukat (Zwingli) commerative Reformation. I put 2000 Swiss francs on it, expecting to have zero chance. Heritage sold a lesser quality ex. in 2017 for over 5KUS. Well I ended up getting for 2K!

Thanks, I spent the whole day working in the rain trimming cedar hedges. I scrolled onto their site and decided for fun to put in a bid. I thought I had ZERO chance of getting it. Last Sincona Auction I put in a proxy bid on the day before the auction of the "British Collection" Highest bid on a MS-66 English Half Guinea of James II 1688 was 1500 Sfrcs. I laid down 5K. To my surprise it ended selling for 8K Sometimes you have bad luck.
