how do you know you have won it, did you already get an invoice or did you bid at the actual auction and your number was recorded at the hammer?
Reason I'm asking is because I also think I won 1-2 lots but am not 100% sure and the wait is agonising.
I bid online before the auctions started and my bid is the max for 2 items but still the Noble site does not actually state that I have won anything.
Thanks
Michael

I know I won because the final bid ended on my maximum bid which I had placed the day before and I wasnt 100% sure so I rang them to confirm.No point dying from the suspense

Thanks again Stevo, I'll probably wait it out over the weekend and if they don't update the details online, I'll also be calling them come Monday.

Had some spendings put aside and jumped on the computor Tuesday night to have a shot at a proclamation coin.....bugger, I forgot about daylight saving, and in the end it would have cost me a minimum of roughly $1500 including commission.

Wednesday morning going to work my faithfull old HJ47 ute blew a gear box. Funny how things like this pan out.

Congratulations Stevo on the great pickup and Autocoupler don't worry mate maybe your car is telling you to hold out for a better coin albeit in an rather expensive way?

That's the way it goes OMF. The old ute just about qualifies as ancient, a bit like the coins you have shared your knowledge about on another thread. I can see it now, one ancient for sale, minus gear box ha ha

Just arrived and still worth the effort I think

Stevo
The obverse doesn't look Unc in the image; plus what are those flaws above and below the kings ear?

stevo1962 · April 15, 2015, 06:27:45 PM

I think it will be OK Neal .It has a few contact marks and the mark above the ear is hard to see with
the naked eye.It is also quite lustrous which doesn't show up on the photos and Nobles billed it
as choice unc

Gee I like the die cracks on both sides of it Stevo, well done mate :good:

One of the highlights of yesterday's auction was items 1441 and 1442 Two of the unissued pattern trial 1988 50 cent coins with the CofA and the Parliament House.

Estimates were $1000 each.

Item 1441 went for $12,000 and Item 1442 went for $16,000

A quick scan of the prices realised so far in the auction would suggest that someone was not doing their due diligence on these two items.

I also noted a Yarralumla PNC went for $1,100 with an estimate of $100 !!

Then of course, you need to add about 20% to those prices.

Cheers

They were interesting items, I bid on both, way above the reserve. However, then it started to get crazy. I was surprise. Anyway the estimate is only a guide, I am sure we all have been blown away at some point in time with the estimates vs reserves.
