This gem is a must have for your collection. Don't let this braided hair large cent get away without placing a bid: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1847-LARGE-...00?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item3cc9dad65c
I Could go the 99 cents for it, but the $3.25 shipping, well that's just crazy money. I will need to pass
Lol. Yep... even using a #0 padded mailer with eBay shipping/delivery confirmation, the cost will be half that.
Yes, if they just charged for a stamp or something for shipping, I would bid and post it under "most beautiful coin" thread but not for $4.25 including shipping. I have got ugly large cents for around $5, but not that ugly. No biddders, looks like everyone let it get away.
If you missed out on this one, for $20 you can get a nicely toned large cent--toned with green verdigris. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1847-Braide...1584437846146649100&pid=100015&prg=1017&rk=1&
I would trade wheat cents or world coins for it, if you listed under coins for trade. I would give you the best ones I could find since these only cost me face value.
Yes, I believe thats the extremely rare "Liberty Elephantitis" variety. The only piece missing in the Holmes collection.
I'll start the bidding at $.01!! Just to take it to Walmart and complain it won't fit in the self checkout.
