Stacks Bowers June Showcase Auction for Physicals is Tomorrow! Polymerbit Debut!

[tread93]

Just touching on the recent auction(s), the .01 newer Lealanas and Satoris really bog down these auctions. I felt bored watching these sell as there have been so many submitted in the last few. Name recognition, and I get it, cash in if I held a large amount of them. The initial auctioneer also did a better job of describing and promoting excitement for each piece vs. the latter. Still a lot of fun to watch the amazing pieces sold.

I would have to agree with you, the auction itself was a little boring to watch, I wish they would highlight the pieces better instead of just focusing on the bidding, honestly it would give the auction itself more time because they are talking about interesting facts about the coins and also stating the most recent high bidding, I think if they really wanted to bolster the auction prices they would do that to help. More time = more money IMO

Am I crazy, wasn't this the first polymerbit note they auctioned?

Honestly, the sealed factory roll is more valuable than a full roll opened and put into individual cases.

While this is generally true, you do need to be a lot more careful how you store them if they are not in capsules. I have some loose satori's I kept in the original plastic holder and the holograms have degraded. Other coins in the same spot in airtite capsules had no issues.

  All my coins inside the rolls are inside a waterproof box with silica gel packets to absorb any humidity.

  I feel this way there as safe as they can be. I would hate to take anything out of the rolls cause in my opinion are more valuable this way than broken apart.
