Timeline Auctions - Day 1

[Descartes 148]

Well... I've been watching the Timeline Auctions through the live bidding this afternoon as I had a couple of bids placed on two coins.

1. Didn't win the Richard III penny (lot 1229). It opened at 200. My maximum bid was 400, and it closed at 460. Nevermind.

2. I initially placed a bid of 200 on a lovely Edward IV penny (Second reign, type XXI) from the Archbishop sharp collection (lot 1240). I was out bid at 220, but I placed a last minute sneaky internet bid at 240 (300 with premium) and won. I'm pleased with this result because of the provenance...

Looking forward to some more bidding on Thurs/Friday!

Here's the coin!
