Outbid in the last 5 seconds! Lost by $1.

Here's another I missed a week ago by $10.

Only two serious bidders for a coin that is about as rare as a 1916 mule halfpenny.
Crazy.
Max bid was much much more than $510 Walter.

Yeah know the feeling Walter as I missed out on this today and had it the hole time until the last minute and as I've bought too much I didn't want to go any higher, sort of spewin that I bought the other :( But I did get it for $350 so a bit over what I would have like to have paid but I think it was still cheapish as it was only $100 over original issue price

All good, I'm glad it went to a collector who appreciates its rarity.
