My experience is this is the typical, not the exception. Yes I do know the major auction houses don't have problems like the locked thread but I don't usually see this kind of material there. By the way @Lehigh96 is there anyway to determine if this is an Appalachian hoard coin? They claim it is, which I am curious about. I would have bought it either way but I'm wondering if there is actually a way to know.
Correct me @Vegas Vic if I'm wrong - but you bought a coin online where the picture of the coin was the same as the coin you got? Those colors are crazy!
To my knowledge, the Appalachian Jeffersons were all encapsulated in the NGC generation 8 holders and had the one of the following certification numbers. 291239-xxx 291240-xxx 291279-xxx 291281-xxx However, there are reports of a group of coins that surfaced within a year of the original Appalachians. I have been unable to determine whether they were from the original Appalachian Hoard or were produced by copycats, but the consensus is that they were more clearly AT than the first two groups of Appalachian Nickels.
I was planning on bidding on that one. I was in love with the coin and couldn't risk losing it, so I used a sniping program to bid. Unfortunately, the sniping program glitched and didn't place my bid. I'm glad that you were able to win it, although it would have looked nice in my collection
Not a series I care much about but that's a super pretty one! As to ha etc they have a far better selection of the higher end early stuff I love. And they got lots of patterns too
Just curious! Which sniping service was that? I used Bidnapper for many years and never once had a problem. Chris
Coin is a little too pretty. I use gavelsnipe if you guys want a third option for bidding, works very well except when I don't put in high enough bid. :wink:
