Have you been a Numisbid winner today?

[ausproofs]

On this last Numisbid sale there were some fantastic prices for buyers.
Unfortunately for sellers/consignee's it wasn't so "Flash"
Luckily I was both a seller and a Buyer, So what I lost on the swings I picked up on the roundabout.
I just Love a good auction , It gets the blood flowing and it brings you back to reality as to what your coins are really worth.
The price lists in books and on various internet sites are all well and good But it is the prices achieved at auction that are the TRUE indicator of a coins value at any given time.
The Market will always decide :ok:

Numisbid is a Great venue for collectors to acquire those sought after coins at the current Market price also for collectors to sell their coins and Walter puts a massive amount of time and effort holding these Auctions.

Keep up the good work Walter, looking forward to the next one Mate :yahoo:

+1 for that Mr T.

Next Auction there are some really nice 3D's coming up... I am not in to 3D (yet). However some of the coins coming up are very hard to match :wavemulticolor:

I forgot all about this one and was a nice surprise in the Mail.
It has been cleaned of Verdigris but the coin itself is in great condition and is a far higher grade than my best 1925 coin in my collection.
8 pearls and a full centre diamond
Shame about the "Shiny" bits but I still like it :ok:
At $62 this wasn't a bargain it was a steal.
Walter graded it as EF or Better, I recon AU50-55 .
PCGS will say AU Details

blobs on E variety

blobs on E variety

Are you referring to the cuds on the "E" in ONE RG ??

[autocoupler]

Blob on the Y of penny also. As far as I know, both are always found together.

I am sending this to PCGS , Hopefully they give it a grade without a "Details" tag .:angel:
Looks to be an AU55-58 coin to me

[trout]

My consignment of nearly 100 PCGS graded coins that I sent a month ago has finally arrived on Walters desk (I hope ,still waiting conformation from Walter) Now the Poor bugger has to image and list them on Numisbid.

What a great way to sell coins, NO imaging required NO typing out descriptions No dealing with some of the "Retards" that abound on eBay and best of all NO Packaging an posting required by Me :yahoo:

sorry to lumber you with this Walter But you do a far better job of it than I could
Just got an email from Water and the coins are there safe and sound :yahoo:

well I just had a look at numisbid
and I am sssoooo disappointed in the three red 1964 y. pennies NONE look red!! is it the photos? or are pcgs all over the place with the colour designations. I would NOT select any of those coins to send off as red.
really - it just isn't fair if they fluff around like this with the colour designations

My guess is that they are in old holders.
PCGS standards have changed over the years - they are harsher today.
These coins got RED back in the old days but today they would get RB.
Also possibly these have toned in the holders over the years.

[robbiegal]

the holders look maybe as if they are the newer ones

the toning may be true
but these reds have only popped up on the charts in the last couple of years
I got the first 2 reds in that year & grade so I know the exact starting point for them

Robbiegal:-

Could you go back to Numisbid and have a look at the 64m MS65RD Lot119 and have a gander of the obverse.
Tell me what you think if you would.

The yellowish colour coming through my screen suggests the coins are receiving a little bit of stray overhead Warm White flouro leakage, I've done it myself.

I think it is just the way Walters images appear on the Numisbid site.
I have these coins "In Hand" and they are Most Defiantly RED :ok:

I would agree that all of those are reds Trout
i'm talking about the current coins in numisbid
this first one is very beautiful but I just wonder if I'd consider it a full red
(even with my over active imagination!)

the melbournes should always be a knock out red - it is the Perth's that are tricky

that almost looks like some sort of a die clash - one of which I have never seen before
unless it is a type of reflection Fordie - there is something as well at the back of the queens head
I am very surprised that coin is a MS65
