<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3129834, member: 19463"]When I saw that Probus made the cheap list, I bid the minimum figuring I would give my 'good enough for me' coin to someone who would understand it. I was relieved when the AE48 went over my cheap bid after I asked what it weighed. We have two here on CT heavier than my 89.9g. I bid assuming that an AE48 would be heavier that my AE46. Assuming is not good.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also wonder if anyone here got lot 119. It no bids until it hit the cheap list and, after several bids, ended up bringing less than half of the 1992 sale. I never will understand what makes a coin sell high one time and low another. Trying to make sense out of what people do is often a mistake. In some cases there is something about a coin only a specialist would see but in some cases it is just wild bidding.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
