So instead of blowing $700 on a MS62 1914-S cent, or similar crazy premium for FUN coin, I decided to spend around 20% of that on the 'bay. Here the latest take: 1955-S MS65 1cent - ANACS old slab > $3.25 1898-O MS63 1$ - ANACS old slab > $54.11 1945-(micro S) MS65 dime - NGC > $69.77 3 nice coins imo,, and for around $130'ish total, which may have gotten you a slabbed grain of sand at FUN this year.
thanks all.. I always enjoy finding nice deals where ever I can. Beef - from what I've heard from others, and from what I saw, yes,,,, the recent FUN auctions that I was watching went off around 20-30% higher than I would have even considered after 8-12 beers... many (or even most) well over full retail. I could not justify these prices based on the quality of scarity of any of those coins I was watching.
I picked up a nice MS-68 grain of sand at FUN, don't be knockin my sand! LOLOLOL Nice pickup on the Lincoln for $3!
Nice--I'm not even into Lincoln cents much anymore, but that one is very pretty; I'd sure own it. The toning on the Morgan $ is beautiful IMO.
