I'd say it is a mistake, and quite a big one. I wonder what legal grounds they'd have to cancel the sale? Presumably they could argue that the incorrect estimate and possibly wrong category resulted in a lot of people missing it. I did actually sort of notice it at first but dismissed it at the time thinking that if it was a mistake it would get fixed. But then on auction day when I was putting on my bids I realised that it was still as before, and as I was out of town at the time I didn't have access to my reference books (NZ Commemorative Medals or the Bertrand price guide). Hence I wasn't sure if there was something I was missing. I suspect the winning bidder was fully aware and so would have bid more than I was prepared to go to anyway even if I was confident of the value. It's just that I hate to see people getting a bargain (other than me) and so I'm kicking myself for not querying it with Mowbrays at the time. Surprised that no one pointed it out to Mowbrays. Also surprised none of the other bidders present at the time, or the auctioneer realised?
