Newcastle Coin Auction Come see what happened

[dooly]

Hi all .. sorry i have not posted over the last few days but i have had a sale on eBay and the first coin auction in 6 months in my local area..

 

there was 1110 lots with quite a few USA & Canada lots in the sale and hardly any one after the USA stuff and all but two lots i bid on went for under the Estimated price .. wish it was like this all the time.. hammered coins also were going cheep so i picked two up.. the prices payed were very strange though Cleaned Morgan dollars were selling for £12+ and uncleaned ones were selling for about £10 !!! (there the ones i bid on )

 

Also there were 3 Shield nickels in a lot which were that worn that you could just make the dates out on and they went for £46 !!!!! (1866 WR, 1868 & 1869) needles to say i did not bid on them !

 

here are some pictures of the place and what i have purchased before i have gone through the lots.. i will post the interesting finds later (I think i have found a Top 100 VAM so far ) and that's just at the viewing.. Well i am of to play with the coins now so enjoy the pictures ..

Looks like you've got quite a pile of loot there. Are you sure you can handle it all? Maybe you should send some of it to me.

I bet you had a great time and will also enjoy going through the haul. (thumbs u

Dooly, nice pile of loot. You'll have fun sorting through all of it. Best of luck with the VAM's.

Dooly- the truth is with the exchange rate where it is, you could do very well bidding in dollars and paying in pounds.

Looks like you had a great time. Congrats!!

Nice haul, Dooly! Let's see pictures of the 80/79. You didn't say, but I assume it is the 1880/79 CC '78 Reverse. Is that right?
