Estimates appear to be a new form of standup comedy, it seems. :angel:

Well my pockets were empty this week so I had no chance, even at those prices.

Oh I really wish you had posted this earlier, there's a complete 1924 Melbourne proof set, a complete 1916 Melbourne proof set among those. Nice ones at that, there's an easy $350,000 between the two.

wwwww
Do you think it might be wise to contact the Auction house and let them know that ?

In the interests of preservation, surely there has to be a duty of care to let the buyer know (if they don't already know) what they may have actually won ?

Also the providence would surely have to be questioned.

I talked to them, I'm pretty sure the buyer knows what they are. One of the 1920 pennies, one of the 1921* shilling (the one with the 1924 set), one of the 1916 half pennies and one of the pennies are probably specimen strikes too. Overall about a million dollars of coins sold that day.
