After many attempts to snipe his auctions, and failing miserably, finally I succeeded with this beauty! It will be making its new home with me soon.
There is a strange similarity to one that I have (which I bought from Shane). I wonder if yours would have turned out like mine if it had stayed in whatever medium was used to store it. Chris
It's easy to snipe all of Shanes auctions. Just put in a max bid of $1000 and you will it 9 out of 10 times!
I also have been watching some of his auctions. This was my first purchase from him, which was today. Since most of the time his stuff is slabbed. The best part about buying from him is I don't need to take images! The toner above will replace his brother below in my type set album. trying to put as many toners as possible in there.
This one did not go that high--people must have been watching TV--only $30 over book. I also wanted the sport of sniping it, after failing in the past.....calling was tooo easy. The quest makes it more exciting!
Really nice looking toner. I attempted a few times at Krypto's auctions, but the price always went too high for me. I think I might have been spoiled by my lcs.

That one thing I can say about Kryp't is that what you see is what you get.. amazingly representative pics.
... What year did you win the lotto MD? You are Balling' with some of The Nicest coins I have ever seen within the hands of a single collector! Congrats and I got mad-respect brother Erik
I am getting close to the limit of what I can spend for a few months. A lot of my recent buying was from sold collections two years ago, and last year--I sold a ton of gold that has been in my possession, and the family's overall last year when gold was at about $1200. Yes, I probably should have waited,but the gold was bought years ago, at a fraction of that price (some of it as low as $180-200 and even lower).It was nice to have gold since the late 70's-early 80s. So, this is the start of my 5th collection, financed a lot by big profits in long term held gold. Other little secret: I tend to buy coins that are good values. With this auction, there were not a ton of bidders (probably due to the Olympics) and the price didn't run up insanely. I would NOT have paid $500 for a common date Morgan just for a pretty coin, but this was a pretty and reasonably priced coin. My method is to look for nice stuff and good values, and be patient--that way, my funds go a lot deeper.
Thanks all on your nice comments--it made me feel good, and it is a pleasure to own a beauty like that!
