G'day Folks, Ok, on offer this weekend, to "Pop the Auction Cherry" on the "New" site, we've got Rolls (20 coins/roll, mint sealed and in great condition) of Kooks and Koalas...'91, '92 & '12 Kooks and '12 & '13 Koalas The '91s & '92s are both re-mints so come in capsules and Mint shrink-wrapped...an opportunity to grab an example of the "Great Perth Mint Re-Mint Scandal" (Technically they "counterfeited" coins by re-minting Legal Tender dated coins...the coins were dated 1991 & 1992 respectively but were re-minted in 2012..) a couple of threads on these, from the "old" site here, from our own @Bullion Baron here & BB's blog got a re-post on a "Conspiracy" site here Auction finish starting at 18:00 AWST (19:30 SA & 20:00 QLD/VIC/NSW), Sunday 23rd April... TONIGHT!!! *with the obligatory 5 minute from last bid per Lot to allow for post time lock-outs, anti-sniping, entertainment etc* The below example gives an example for the finish process, times to be adjusted to suit each particular Lot... (eg. last post before 17:55 (19:25/19:55) with no further bids that Lot finishes at 18:00 (19:30/20:00)...if a bid comes in at 17:58 (19:28/19:58) then the auction for that particular Lot now finishes at 18:03 (19:33/20:03)...unless further bids extend it by a further 5 minutes etc...)...hopefully that makes sense... Due to no "seconds" showing on Forum timeclock any duplicate bids with the same timestamp will be "first in line" gets the spot ~ SPOT RESERVE - Highest bid over Reserve price will be the winner on ALL Lots Postage at Winner's Choice/Cost/Risk (at this stage...) BONUS – FREE Pre-'46 Florin(s) for winners of Multiple Lots And without further ado, on to the Auction...
