There will be no unfunded coins for this auction, unless you wish to receive the coins without holograms.
I'm not happy about this because you stated no unfunded coins would be sold. I understand the price has risen and its going to be hard to unload that silver but I feel like you're changing the rules mid game. I was generous with what I was wiling to pay based on the rules you stated.
Hmmm. I totally missed this, thanks Hellot.
As someone in the same boat, I can feel the sting, however, I can see how hard it must be to sell these coins with funding required at this point - I don't think
anyone anticipated (or even really wanted) the price rise so fast and soon (except the DNM owners)?, so I can understand how he would want to still sell the coins at this point unfunded, I know a lot of people prefer unfunded coins as well, so who am I to judge, I just think that they can/will never be as valuable as loaded numbered sets.
I look at this way. I only collect coins that have value loaded onto them nowadays for the most part, and most are graded, but I can also see the appeal in owning a set even without the holo as they are really beautiful coins, but going further - if I were to submit them to anacs without a holo, they would grade @ what, MS60? ... Not too worried about it I guess. Smoothie can do what he wants, it's his silver/coins.
BTW, my #5 set graded for 2 X MS69 and 1 X MS70. These coins are really amazing, so whoever wins, good work!
Anyhow, that's all I'm going to say about it. I understand, but otoh, I don't really care for the coins unloaded and without a holo, as beautiful as they are, it just subtracts from the true/full art of them IMO.
We are only bidding on the coins it self at the moment
We will still have load the coins with 175 monero which is non-negotiable. So if you look at as if your starting bid os 175 monero plus what you bid for the coins.
That isn't the point that Hellot is making though. These were not going to be sold unfunded... the loading amount of 175 XMR was mandatory on top of the bid amount, AFAIK.
This is true at least for this action as I read it, and should be, since it's a fully numbered lower set.I correct myself - How can this auction be for a numbered set, if the number is UNDER the holo that won't be on it if they chose to be unfunded? Now i'm confused. Peace out!
