how can you break even on slobbing fees at such low winning bids?

Win some loose some, it's just the way it is :ok:
Bluesheet value on those was only $48 so I did OK with them.

OK? How?
Slabbing costs about $30, plus return post to California, plus ebay fee ,plus paypal fee and you have less than bullion value left. Ouch.

The gains in goodwill and return bidders is worth every penny.
Anyway if you start an auction at 99 cents you are morally obliged to let it run its course.
There is no real drama as I have hundreds of these

Don't know how many time I've won an auction and the seller cancels the sale because he didn't get as much as expected.
Or they put in dummy bids (from 2 shill accounts) to the level they want. If a patsy then wins the seller completes the transaction, if a shill wins then the sale is cancelled.

Ouch Trout!

No biggie, Now lets get this tread back on topic :ok:

I spotted this one the shared submissions page.
Some really nice Aussie coins in here and I am certain that they are one of our members coins

Well yes.

The pennies (including the token) and the florins are mine; the threepences and the halfpennies are Stuart's (i.e. work coins). My next few weeks wages will be going on paying Stuart back for all the slabbing costs.

It was nice to have the 32, 36, 42I come up as red; the 41 must have been very close.

I think they were a bit hard on that Canberra florin it looks a tad better than MS64 to me.

Uh, the auto crop tool they used messed up on this one.

Now THAT is definitely different :dodgy:
You would think they would check the image before finalizing it

[drakesterling]

Wow! emu666. Some nice grades and coins there.

[trout]

I think I am happier with  the result  on the 81 10 cents being the single highest graded :good:

I hope you're right and it is a lone totp, but I think the Population report is updated weekly so it may be sharing the top spot with another coin.

You were right, there is another one :dash1:

 No you certainly cant complain about that Goldy.There's no doubt you've increased their value by slabbing them in my opinion

[purplepennyhunter]

What are the errors Goldy? Nice stable of mules!!
