Josh,

While the price of gold is down, you should get the rest of this short set

 

I like your shirt. That's also a nice set you got there.

 

That is the FREE Capt'n Crunch shirt I got by mailing in 4 Capt'n Crunch proof of purchases a few years ago, LOL

Some day I get the 1911-D to finish the set when that sunken ship is lifted to the surface with all those gold coins on board.




But with my luck I probably be at the Airport instead of the Ocean Port.

 

Of course not. He's just talking about selling coins, and this coin that he happens to have for sale, complete with picture of the coin he happens to have for sale. But if the coin he happens to have for sale had been a link instead of the pic of the coin he happens to have for sale, now THAT would be breaking the rules!

(Sorry, I couldn't help myself. All intended as fun and games. )

 

HaHa fair enough Amanda.

 

Ps, I am now the happy owner of this coin, so feel free to talk about it as much as you want! Cause it isn't for sell now, haha

 

Nice rip! Josh did not know it was the rare overdate variety.

 

sound like a case for the people's court

 

Josh will have some regrets letting that one go for so little.

 

Come on, man... leave the poor kid be; you know he's frantically searching online for info on this, ahem, "variety" as we speak.

 

I actually turned around and sold it for $750 because of this!! Ok, not really... wishful thinking!

 

Not quite I looked it up and searched around for 5 minutes and didn't find anything about an overdate variety. I figured that you guys are playing a trick on me but if you aren't please enlighten me.

Either way I have no regrets @jwitten got a nice Quarter Eagle and that's what really matters.

 

See... just like I said and that's why it was funny. Twas just a little josh, Josh.

 

Hey, they even had me for a second. But I buy these coins all the time and have never heard of any such varieties, so knew they must be kidding

 

Actually you guys had it right. It really is a rare variety. I thought Josh knew what it was and was just messing with the folks here.
Really nice coin. Great Cherrypick.

 

But what does a cat taste like?

Chicken!

Go for it Ken

 

NGC retail - 365 (yeah, right)
Dealer wholesale: (numis) - 260

Melt value - Somewhere around 150

This is what I get:

4.16g * .9 = 3.744g gold
3.744g * (1oz/28g) = .134oz * 1200 (or whatever) ~ 161

So maybe you'd get 125 melt? I'm not sure what the markup is on that.

Still, a very reasonable price and a nice coin.

I'm not sure what you'd get for melt, but the price seems right.

When bullion is fickle though, I have to admit I stay away from coins largely valuated on melt. They were probably just having second thoughts. I've been reading about gold dropping all over the news.

And yeah, that looks like something REALLY easy to miss. I wouldn't know about it and couldn't even tell without expanding the picture. Oviously your customers didn't, either...

 

Congrats on the lifted "cursed coin" Josh .

 

Now, someone else is cursed by it.
