I was bidder 7 and high bidder from Tuesday to Saturday (which means nada in the end). Hope Seth is happy with the outcome. Tim

I was bidder 6, you were the one that out bid me!
   I was trying to figure out how to take time off from work to go eat lunch until you bid.

Thank you Elton John!

Note that everyone can also donate to the Witter Coin Fund which also supports scholarships.

Sorry @WilliamJ - we both had good intentions!

BTW - did someone mention Elton John?



Is this CACable?

That looks like a big silver medallion, nice! Maybe a proof 68?
     I think it is kinda cool that we were out bid by Elton John and Mr. Elite in the same auction!! It will make for a good story to tell my local coin dealer and other  friends. I thought that you might win @pointfivezero!
 However, I am still wondering if Seth is paying for them to have lunch at Waha?

Thanks William. It is the one auction I actually won:



I'll play second (or third) fiddle to Elton and Elite any day.

That is super cool! Nice medallion actually from his charity auction and your bid on this auction was actually outbid by Elton himself,  never would have guessed!!

OMG!! Are Saints collapsing? Mr Elite lost while bidding? What will happen next? Can these kids even afford food at their seminars?

I've had lunch w/JA many times. Let me tell you, I can't see the value of paying $20,000.00+ for eating w/him!!! :-)

I LOVE Elton John. congrats!

Laura, fess up - if you had to pay $20,000 to have lunch with John, you would most definitely do so.

I don't have to pay and would not. He owes me a couple of lunches.

LOL.

Laura would pay $20K to have lunch with the OTHER John!

Elton John that is.

I am a music junkie. I would pay $50,000.00 to have lunch w/sir Elton!
