Have you been a Numisbid winner today?

[r9453]

In my price range there is no point getting into a bidding war. Its not like I'm ever going after a top of the pops coin. I will usually return serve once or twice but if someone keeps coming back at me I bail out. Plenty of coin fish in the sea in which I swim.

[wwwww]

Any winners here ? I picked up a few 6D's today...

i was watching , you did well, you were leaving the auction when you won a coin by pre bid. now thats a win :yahoo:
i got a couple of 6d's too

i was :kez_11: and :drooling: watching the half sovereigns

between 4 coins , they totalled over $120,000 !!

The competition on those half sovereigns was phenomenal though the 1881-S was perhaps a bit on the cheap side. I can't get over how beautiful the 1864 was - I know trout's going to disagree with me here but the Sydney mint series is clearly Australia's most beautiful coin design.

I do enjoy the Sydney Mint design it is very easy on the eye, uniquely Australian  and it is an Australian icon coin although out of the reach of many collectors.
However My Beautiful Canberra Florins are within the reach of EVERY collector :yahoo::laugh2:

I really like the way you can pay your NumisBid account using PayPal with a few mouse clicks. An email comes in with a link to "My Orders" which takes you to your account where there are links to pay by various means. The PayPal link takes you to your account and when you navigate back to NumisBid the account is shown as paid. Meanwhile another email from PayPal arrives with a receipt for your payment. It takes about 20 seconds without entering any amounts or account numbers.

I see Walter has hired a "Shipping Assistant" Lin Li.

On the ball, I'll say, I got an email this morning with the tracking number having paid yesterday.

I love those embedded tracking numbers, One click on the email and you are instantly put onto the tracking page :good:

Actually Lin Li is one of our numismatists, she was just handling shipping as our shipping assistant was on holiday.

The 1913 MS64 Shilling that was part of the Fenton sale just sold on Numisbid for $7,000, pretty much double the auction price on the Fenton sale.
Maybe the entire collection would have done a lot better if it was consigned through Walter and he slowly fed them into the market instead of such a massive influx of high grade coins at once :good:

Massive blunder to sell such a collection in that way.
It came at the end when everyone had already spent their money.
Also pics and descriptions were poor.
I get the impression that Nobles dont like PCGS coins.

Its pretty hard to bullshit a grade, authenticity or condition of a coin if it is in a PCGS or NGC slab :angel:

Nobles tried pretty hard.

[ausproofs]

I am kicking my self for not buying the coins from the Nobels auction... If I did that, I woud have nearly completed my 6D set... Today the same coins went for higher prices..

I got the 1952 and 1951 6D... others went too far..

Been caught out with their grading before which makes me wonder whether they do it on purpose or whether they just can't grade

it seems to me that the dealers with lower moral standards do not like TPG coins
