There is one item that I have placed a proxy bid on and will see how that goes :ok:

I'm bidding on two coins and watching two others.

I wish you well with your bids and hope you are successful Mate

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:

r9453 · March 15, 2016, 08:28:00 PM

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?

trout · 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 ?

kchan1111 · March 15, 2016, 09:54:42 PM

Does universal put unsold lots up for sale afterwards?

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
