Bidding on a coin just to bid and then end up winning

[Schatzy]

So have you ever bid on a coin just to say that you bid on the coin but later end up winning the coin.

For some reason I just bid on a coin that I never though I could own but for some reason I

am the high bidder with only 12 hours left.....I hope I don't get outbid!!

I have bid on a few common date coins with the opening .99 bid and wound up winning them. I also bid on a couple PCGS Jeffs once with the opening bid of $10 just in case I lost the first one and would bid a little more on the next one. Wound up winning both for the $9.99.

I place a lot of small bids on stuff and yes I have won quite a few but I wouldn't say I ever won a coin I didn't want to win.

Yeah I have placed some small bids on some lots just to bookmark them really and even won a couple that were a complete surprise

Keep an eye on what happens at the end of that auction. Don't be surprised if there are 2 or 3 bids made at the last second.

I recently bid $350 for 3 coins and i thought it will end up in $600 range. I won for ~$220! That was so far my best purchase on auctions.

And couple weeks ago i bid on 5 graded Lincoln cents and took all 5 for $35 shipped

Sometimes, I will place a bid on a coin to see if there are any max bids placed that would be higher than my max bid. If the bidding goes beyond that, I'll pass, but I never place a bid on a coin that I don't want.

I bid low and won a 1906 Liberty Nickel but when I examined the coin, I knew why I won.

At that time I was buying the slab and not the coin.

Hopefully, I have learned that it is the other way around.

That is a sizeable multiple of my salary, that's for sure. I won one coin tonigh, a stunner which I actually just put a bid on to say I did, fully expecting it to go much higher. I'll put everything in a show report when I get back to Charleston.

Yeah that is quite a princely sum. Oh well, it would have looked great in his proof like registry set.
