fantastic even if i can't afford anything will be a great referance

[£400 for a Penny ?]

Is this to be another of their 'last man standing' format auctions like the Tony Crocker sale ?

I'm guessing it must be.

"last man standing" auction ?

Anyway, it certainly looks very interesting. Who knows there might be a high grade 1926 ME penny worth fighting over, if you've a spare couple of grand floating about.

"last man standing" auction ?

Yes. You have until a certain date to register your interest in a lot and then after the closing date, it's between you and whoever else has entered the minimum starting bid. You then keep going backwards and forwards until everyone else gives up and you are the last man standing. Can go on for a week or more.

Oh right, thanks for that.

Presumably the winner is the one whose bid still stands after say, 24 hours, with no further rival bids ? ~ and that everybody is still in the race until that point.

From memory, last time I got an email every time I was outbid asking me if I wanted to continue. I think there must be a time limit if they don't hear from you, can't remember what it is though.

I think it's called "taking the piss"

I'll save my money for auctions where I know when it ends and where my first bid is my only bid (whether highest lowest or derisory compared to others).

Some nice looking stuff so good luck to those of you who put yourselves forward for the hassle!

I was wondering the same thing. Why on earth in Coin News? Why not put the coins up on the website to pique our interest? What good is it in a magazine that probably many of us never bother to look at?

Bernie emailed earlier, need to correct with the following

It is my son James’s collection that is up for auction, mainly accumulated by me. There are many extremely rare and pennies of the highest grade on offer.

There are 243 pennies in the collection of which will be sold in two auctions

[£400 for a Penny ?]

Any idea of the split/date for part II ?

I know you're not Colin Cooke's and don't have to do their job for them, but would be useful to know ?

By split, I mean is part I going to be, say, Buns from 1860-1894 for example....

Unfortunately I do not have that info, but will email Bernie.

He did say catalogues will be available soon from Cookes, so

I will email Neil at the same time.
