Did anyone watch or take part in todays auction ? Seemed very poor, very little sold in the first half of the sale

Had a look at the catalogue, but saw nothing that interested me personally.

Williams IV was weaker than the other portions of the sales.  Less interest in the specialty collection probably led to less interest in the main auction.

Was outbid on both that I went for, £3k was more than enough for the halfpound, £1.3k fairly reasonable for the Ceolwulf I 1d - less than it sold for last time - (didn't want to go too much over book for such a moderate specimen).  Prices generally weren't quite as high as I would have guessed.

With it being so soon after christmas, it could have been the reason, DNW 20th-21st Feb catalogue is now live, for all the penny boys, i'm sure i saw an 1897 P.ENNY in there

Ceolwulf I was reasonable and I regret not bidding on it.  Remarkable provenance.
