<p>[QUOTE="ksparrow, post: 2080322, member: 7638"]I don't think I looked through them as closely as Jason did, but I have to agree that probably 75% of them don't appeal to me very much. I think that a lot of the coins are original, just deeply darkly original which obscures the design. I don't find that desirable, nor the headlight bright ones that have been cleaned or dipped to death. Some of the lightly dipped upper AU ones that have retoned actually look pretty nice. I'm guessing that this collector was focusing on Overton #s in XF-AU and was either in a big hurry or had a budget that forced him* to make certain concessions in the pursuit of a goal. </p><p>I expect that the rare varieties will generate some competitive bids, but the common ones will not do too well (hope I'm wrong).
