<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 3857935, member: 84744&quot;]Thanks so much to everyone for your enthusiastic participation, for consigning, for commenting here, and generally for making the auction a smashing success.&nbsp; I&#039;m so very grateful!!&nbsp; It&#039;s sometimes a banality to say &quot;I couldn&#039;t do it without you&quot; but in this case it is <i>so very true</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is what I came away with for my own collection.&nbsp; Some of these were targets, others were opportunities.&nbsp; (Most of my targets got away, but that made me even happier since they fetched good prices for my consignors.)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1021360[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Hey, after all that work I deserve to give myself a treat or two, right? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m <i>very</i> happy with all of these, partly because of their CoinTalk provenances ([USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER], [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER], [USER=72712]@arnoldoe[/USER], [USER=96898]@Orielensis[/USER], and [USER=76194]@Sallent[/USER] being among them). In future auctions, with the consignors&#039; permission, I will be including a provenance on every CoinTalker coin.&nbsp; I&#039;ve refrained from listing every single one before just because it doesn&#039;t really fit with the mold you see from other auction houses.&nbsp; But I&#039;ve already stretched that mold to some extent, so why not break it?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I think it was [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER] who made me see the light on this when he commented in a pm on how much he valued knowing the provenance.&nbsp; And I do too.&nbsp; So... why not?&nbsp; Seems a no-brainer.&nbsp; Those uncool non-CoinTalkers can suck it up if they don&#039;t like it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>That said, AMCC 3 will be a while coming.&nbsp; Given the amount of time it takes and the fact that I do have an obstacle that prevents me from coining (aka a &quot;day job&quot;) as well as a thriving family I expect I&#039;ll only be running one per year, in the fall.&nbsp; (For consignors who don&#039;t want to wait that long, I&#039;ll be happy to offer an advance.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Meanwhile, you should all check out [USER=76086]@Ken Dorney[/USER]&#039;s awesome new auction, also on biddr, closing Nov. 29th: <a href="https://www.biddr.ch/auctions/dorney/browse?a=827" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.biddr.ch/auctions/dorney/browse?a=827" rel="nofollow">https://www.biddr.ch/auctions/dorney/browse?a=827</a> .&nbsp; He&#039;s got a new pricing model... everything starts super low at 10 or 20 USD, and it is going to ROCK!&nbsp; I&#039;m already excited about bidding.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
