<p>[QUOTE="slamster17, post: 1827180, member: 25925"]So local auction house had some coin lots in their most recent estate auction. One lot contained 8 pieces....a 3 cent silver piece (maybe 1861 I forget), 3 gold $1 pieces one in "high grade" two indian princess, one liberty head 1889, 1854, and I forget the other date. And 4 gold fractional tokens 3 with holes and one not. Here is a link... estimate was $400-$600 which seemed incredibly accurate to me as the gold $1s didn't seem like any spectacular rare dates. This lot went for like $4250 plus the buyer's premium...what did I miss??? I don't think there is any way these coins are worth $664 each....My bid was pretty conservative at around $750</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ragoarts.com/lot/566614" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ragoarts.com/lot/566614" rel="nofollow">http://www.ragoarts.com/lot/566614</a></p><p><br /></p><p>PS I did look at these coins in person, though I don't remember how "high grade" the 1889 was, but I guess if it was MS+ it could go for $500-1000 but still...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
