<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 2153598, member: 24633"]Several years ago, a good friend of mine had a listing for an 1883-CC Morgan toner graded NGC MS65. The obverse toning was gorgeous with magenta, red and blue. The bidding had already gone to $750 but came to a stop the last couple of days. So, I decided to place a max bid of $1200 to see what would happen. I remained the high bidder until the last few minutes, but I lost it to a bidder at $1250.

From the previous auction, I knew there was only one bidder that might go that high, but why would he/she bid on another that was almost identical.
