Estimate $500 and paid $1300 + comm but was undergraded IMO as I would grade it as aUNC
Well the image looks good, with that estimate
did they suggest a EF grade ?
The edge nibbles on obverse may well prevent
a aUnc grading.

Yeah they suggested EF and I'm hoping the edge marks aren't
that much of a problem as they are very small
Do you need to email them to be able to bid?

You need to open an online bidding account a few weeks before the auction.As this was an experiment they only signed up 45 people for online bidding this time and they had a few teething problems
Hopefuly i can get on the next one im wactching it online as a guest looks pretty good
1. it's a selling strategy - looks good when the coin goes for what it is really worth but ends up way above estimate
2. the graders get paid a percentage of their (ie Nobles) grade value - so it pays for them (Nobles) to down grade it even if it is a higher grade but the auction house can anticipate higher hammer prices
so yeah - i'd agree with your grade Steve
if it's listed as e/f then it is more likely a/unc to unc
Walter did the same thing a while back with the "Live auction" on his site and it worked seamlessly :ok:

I'm hoping it is better than EF so that I haven't paid catalogue value

Nobles will get it right if they continue with it
