Seriously, it's interesting and really neat to see a number of Asian bidders here at the auction. It gives a nice, international flair.

 

The (apparent) Americans are holding their own, though.

COMMEMS ARE TRIPLE-THERMONUCLEAR SCORCHING HOT

 

Check your greysheets

 

I recorded lot 357 = 5500

358 = 9750 (insane!)

359 = 2100

 

Something tells me these are plusing on the quarterly sheets....

Coins gotta be slabbed to bring top dollar? PSHAW!

 

Lot 384 = $575

 

I bailed at 500

 

Check your sheets again....

 

Lot 389, and awesome Dahlonega, $36,500, I think to a phone bidder

 

Lot 412 was crazy at $17,750 on the floor

 

414 was not too bad at 22,250

 

Lot 438 closed at $39,000 but I don't know if it met reserve.

I actually think the PDS set of 1939 Oregon's in PCGS 67 was a fair price. I thought it would even higher. MJ

I liked the 56-D QE (389), but the 54-D $3 (438) was not so great.

What is the difference between hammered price and realized price? I am assuming it is the adding of buyers premiums and maybe other fees?

 

Hammered Price: $475.00

 

Price Realized: $546.25

That's exactly it, mtnstyne. The hammered price is what the bidders get to in auction, and the realized price adds the buyer's premium. For Heritage, it is 15%, other auction houses charge more or less.

Perhaps the shocker of the night? Lot 817 was a RAW 1928 Peace dollar that I called MS-64 (though it is a borderline GEM).

 

It opened at something like 805 AND HAMMERED AT 5250.

 

Raw coins certainly CAN sell for top dollar.
