Title: Gorny & Mosch lot
Post by: Victor on October 15, 2016, 12:07:31 AM

I just won a lot of 40 LRB's from Gorny & Mosch auction 241 and look forward to getting them.

However, at around 30 euros a coin, I have pretty high expectations...hopefully I will not be disappointed  :'(

That looks like a nice lot but at a steep price. Good luck!

I buy these lots hoping to find a few that are really nice (hopefully 10- 15 this time), or something rare, or at least an unlisted workshop or two; often I am disappointed...but I remain eternally optimistic/ foolish.  :)

this auction firm also charges a 17.5% buyers fee, which worked out to an additional 210 euros

Ouch! I was recently looking at a few other auction houses and found that quite a few of them now charge 20-25% buyer's fees.

Just stumbling across this post. So were you happy with what you found in that lot? Are those coins making their way to your VCoins shop yet? The photo looks great.

Yes, it was a decent lot. I am slowly listing them; but I only list on the weekends and generally only about 10 coins. However, as usual with group lots where some of the coins are not pictured, a few were not as nice.
