Thanks Mark. I have never been a huge fan of saints but I don't guess I have ever seen a fully struck one like this proof. It brings the design to a whole new level.

Thanks, Ray. The Satin/Roman (1909-1910) and Matte Proof (1911-1915) Saints are an entirely different breed of Saint, and to me, are truly breathtaking.

 

I am currently the high bidder (at $110,000 hammer) on the one I posted, but am not particularly confident that I will win it.

All the satin gold proof coinage of that era is simply stunning and is the one niche where I wish I had purchased a piece for myself years ago.

[Coindude]

Yea, I received that catalog in the mail the other day. I have to say, I was enamored with that coin amongst others. But their catalog, albeit small was one of the nicest I've ever received!

You should always be careful pointing out coins you are bidding on before auction closes. I was pleasantly surprised and found a lot I like as well.

I had no idea there was even proof saints?

Me either, I thought it looked like a replica made from cheese at first . Thanks for pointing it out Mark and good luck.

 

You don't have to worry about me jumping the bid.

I always consider that. If someone wants to outbid me, that is OK by me.

Doggone it - totally forgot about the auction. Looks like online bidding is closed .

It would take a pretty heavy hitter to outbid Mark, anyway. Not just anyone can casually drop over 100K!

[Raisethis2]

Well Mark,

 

Christmas IS coming,

 

No pressure though.

[e1cnr]

was watching - your lot closed at $120,000 hammer

 

the lot I pre-bid on closed at my pre-bid max, but have no idea if I won -

as all the auction-flex bids seemed to come from floor

[mkman123]

Not if it sold in excess of $110,000 hammer. My bidding information page on their website has not indicated the official result, yet.

OK---gotcha. I wasn't sure, if you were the high bidder at 110K OR if 110K was your high bid, period. Must've been BOTH. Good Luck, in any event.

Thanks and I'm good, win or lose. When I mentioned previously that I was high bidder at $110,000 hammer at the time, I felt there was no good reason to disclose that was my maximum bid.

[mkman123]

I bet Mark won it and already found a buyer!

[JIM F.]

In my opinion, this thread should be moved to the money marketplace area as it seems to be soliciting a sale of a coin. Just my opinion.

Quite to the contrary---it is discussing a possible, prospective purchase, as we do all the time, on this area of the forum.

[mkman123]

Mark might keep it and he was sharing a nice coin

OK. Just keeping it tight.

 

It is a nice coin!

 

 

[e1cnr]

He didn't win it, was underbidder
