Post an Ike

I was looking at that lot myself, and that's exactly the problem with TT images - they're awful. And for a major auction house, that's just inexcusable. I've had to return a few coins on account of spotty, unattractive toning. It's not really a big deal, but it's a pain in the butt, and I avoid them now.

Yeah, I have picked up on that. Like I said, the silver Proof wasn't even the coin I was after, it was the OG Limey Slab, so we'll see what I get when the coins come in.
Even if it isn't toned, I'll be happy.

 

If you're not interested in the proof when it arrives, send me a PM and I'll buy it off you. I've been looking to collect a slabbed brown box Ike, which is what that coin looks like. I just can't tell if the toning is desirable from that pic.

 

I will keep that in mind. I actually just sold a pretty good rim toned one in an NGC slab last week.

Did you see this one:

I've been watching that one for a while... he started up around $85 I think, and every time the auction ends with no buyers he reduces the price a little. Now he's down to $62-something with the "10% off". I was waiting until it hit below $50 to possibly bid on it... not that I need yet another one, but still...

Oh, and John, if the coin bhaugh mentions above is the one I'm thinking it is, let me know and I'll send you pics and maybe even sell it to you...

 

Did you see this one tho?

Really nice color on it, but out of my price range at the moment. If it's still there after my tax return comes back I may be tempted to make an offer and see if they take it...

 

Yeah, that one is a clad though, so not the brown boxer he's looking for.
Now here is what I think you're really looking for John:

And it's supposedly a DDR...

Prime, I was talking about the one I sold you, nice coin, just didn't fit my collection and I'm after something bigger... You get my PM about our other deal? Let me know when you get a chance to look at your SDB.

 

Thanks for the heads-up guys! :thumb:

 

Yeah, it's unfortunate that one was clad especially for the price. If that were a silver proof it would be much more desirable.

Went to the SDB earlier, will get back to you in a short while.

Oh, and I like the one you just posted, I can see where it could possibly be a DDR. I grabbed this one last night, supposedly a DDO, will see when it arrives. Looks like it's got some evidence of a little doubling, just can't tell with the pics.

I was looking at that one, and missed the end time. For the price I think it was a good deal. Worth a closer look.

 

Here are two shots of this monster:

 

Wow Greg that Ike is INSANE!

 

:bangg:

 

Greg, those last 3 are awesome.

Check your PM's... I may have bought one off you recently.

 

Where did you get my dream coin from, you know im pretty jealous right now..... I may get over it someday but its not likely. No in all seriousness beautiful coin if its not already graded i would suggest it, good catch not many are like that....

 

I was looking at my NGC MS66 FEV for Doubling, and came across this:


Die Crack running the entire length of STATES on the Reverse. I'll shoot better pics when I crack it out before sending to PCGS.

Also picking up a lot of MDD... wish it had been a DDR :yes:

 

Soo... was it anyone on here that won this:
