Thanks, I was looking at the same type of coin in two consecutive lots. I won the first one at a very good price. Then I thought I was going to end up with both but someone made a live bid and I let it go. Another coin had a minimum bid more tan 50% above the blue sheet yet someone bid on it. I thought the pace was quicker than NumisBid.

This is my first time I have actually looked in on one of their live actions.
It is pretty "rapid Fire", I much prefer the sedate and easy pace of the Numisbid Auctions.
It gives you time to think before you bid :good:

Rapid fire is right - a lot of coins got no live bids.

It sure is quick!!! Sometime I see no bid and no "Last Call" warning then after 2 seconds - BAM! We are off to the next lot! :O

Did you win the Canberra Florin Mr Trout? :)
Title: RE: Universal Coin Company Auction
Post by: trout on March 15, 2016, 08:53:10 PM
I persevered and got a gorgeous Canberra florin in MS65 for $550 + $82.50 buyers fee and a 1927 Florin in MS62 for $220 + $33 buyers fee.
Pretty happy with this, but I do feel bad for whoever consigned these coins.
Here are the PCGS true view images.

What did you get r9453 ?

Yes
 
 

I did manage to pick a top of the pop MS66    1969 50 cent which are very tough to find this good

I don't know why you need a new direction trout, with coins like these the way ahead is clear.

All I got was a 1956Y penny for $30 + extras. I could not see the certificate number so I can't look it up but it will do for my budget QEII penny set:

I just received and have paid my invoice for last nights auction $897.50.
At that price I got the MS62 1927 Florin free , The toned Canberra is worth every bit of $900 on its own :yahoo::dance2::yahoo:

I did have a bid on the Canberra florin but couldnt justify paying the price it ended
up at but each to their own as long as we are happy with what we collect

$550 + vig is a very reasonable price to pay for a Canberra florin of this calibre as far as I am concerned :)

I won the 1911 and 1912 threepence in MS66. They should fit nicely in my registry set.

Very nice pick ups , If it is not a rude question how much did it cost you for that rather nice 1912 6d ?

An ex US marine who now lives near me told me that they use DD/MM/YYYY format for dates and 24 hour time (HH:MM) so he never had a problem when he came to Oz. Now has to think about it when he sees a US format date.
He hasn't fully integrated -will accept a red wine in preference to a cold beer. But, that's fine by me as long as he leaves me some.
