Great Dane Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) Hmm... I never believe stories like this before I see the deal being settled. High bids always attracts lazy journalists, who then never follow up on the story to see if it was just hot air... and - in effect - a 'non-story'... Off the top of my head - stories that made it big in the media: Schumacher's Formula 1 car on eBay - high bidders cancelled their bid when the auction was about to end, leaving it unsold. Some rare beer bottle sold on eBay in US for a very high price - winning bidder never paid. Apparently these 'bidders' just want their 15 minutes of fame before going down in disgrace... Needless to say, the journalists behind the "Wow, look at this high price" articles never followed up on these... probably moved on to an article about a 4-headed cow... I have no idea if this coin will actually sell for the stated amount, but experience has taught me not to pay much attention to this kind of articles. /Michael Edited December 30, 2009 by Great Dane
Laurence Strong Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 With only 3 examples left someone will buy it. Coin collectors are as fanatical as the rest of us.
Laurence Strong Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 When all was said and done, it sold for 402,500.00 USD
Guest Darrell Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 When all was said and done, it sold for 402,500.00 USD Wow ... and they say medal collectors are crazy :)
Great Dane Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Impressive! Let's hope the high bidder also pays... /Michael
