That was my first time participating an auction here. Had a mild heart attack when I realize that all entries are final - no edits allowed!

The morale is, bid with confidence! This is a beautiful coin...

Time to sweeten the deal:

The photograph in my coming book for the 0.1 Casascius coin will be of this particular coin.

Why? Its the most perfect specimen I get to photograph; of course!

Buy the coin that will be most famous The first bits will also be visible in the photo; so maybe a future selling point?

[LazerViking]

Is it over? I'll do 2.18 if not

:/ i think it was a mistake to use 0.01 as the min. increment.

TheAnalogKid, i suppose you win. I really think it should have gone higher. Please PM me with details

Wow, I am very surprised how low this sold for!

I'm almost certain that some ppl who meant to bid, forgot (atleast ill keep telling myself..)
Was assuming it would go to 3.5 at a minimum (nearly put reserve at 3, but thought eh why not)

Well the forum did go down for a little while so it is possible that some people were unable to bid.

Just finding out about this now.
 if true, then it should be extended with a small grace period

I could not log in for the last 20 minutes of the auction....

It is your auction, although this happened to someone else as well at roughly the same time and they ended the auction:

Pretty sure the auction is over.

Just a heads up, I was unable to load bitcointalk for the last 15 minutes from multiple locations.  So someone who wanted to bid might not have been able to.

The same happened with me. This means that I am going to have to take the loss, as I took the risk associated with having an auction.

I have more then one MS68 lealana tenth, so if someone really wanted to buy one then can PM me and we can try to work something out. The price would be somewhat above my reserve price though.

In that case, it is only fair that we set an extension.

To ensure complete fairness (so that prior bidders have an opportunity etc), i propose a solid 24h extension to 8pm EST tomorrow. Thoughts on this?
