Opinions on Capped Bust Half

This is a coin on eBay, that I might bid on. Just wanted to get some opinions, its R4, correct?
Also if anyone could lead me to a good sniper software for eBay it would be appreaciated.

Yes, it looks like an O.119, which is an R4- die marriage

Also, no one here should condone the use of bid-sniping software. They are considered unethical and are highly frowned-upon.

Just the fact that you're interested in purchasing one worries me.

 

Wow Gemmyj Bust Half dollar is the only word I have..!*/* a very nice coin lI am not sure what experts say.I hope Frank gets a view and his words 99.9 will.skill Bust Half his coin he normally 100% right he knows Bust half well!!

 

I completely disagree about the bid sniping software. I think sniping provides the best experience for both buyer and seller. Especially, the more people that use the technique.

 

What you refer to as a "technique" is nothing more than manipulation of a perfectly fair system, IMO.

But I guess we're all free to express our opinions, so I will respect yours.

 

I prefer Gixen for sniping....

 

I prefer to bid like a man. Beautiful coin, BTW!

 

Of course, sniping only works well for lowballers. If you put you highest bid in to begin with, and it's a fair bid, then they're pointless. I outsnipe the snipers all the time without using cheats because I bid accordingly. Not so difficult.

Oh, and I really like that O.119 in the OP

Looks AU50-ish. Here's my PCGS 40 of the same die marriage for comparison.

 

I always snipe and I always bid my highest bid. Not sure why you think it somehow benefits lowballers. It benefits someone who can make a confident decision in what they are willing to pay for something.

 

But if you're putting in your highest bid and sniping - why bother sniping? I've never used it but have lost out to it - at least it sure appears that way. If you bid 200 bucks on a coin, are you hoping that by using a snipe program you might avoid actually reaching your high bid by waiting until the last second for the program to bid up to your high?

 

Activity on an item draws additional interest. Waiting until the last minute, prevents emotional and unsure people from overbidding when they see my bid. I'm doing both them and the seller a favor. It serves no ones interest to have someone regret their bid. It also prevents me from succumbing to a similar emotion. It forces me to determine exactly what I'm willing to pay, rather than be sucked into an excalating bid where I become unsure in my decision.

 

I've gotta admit, that actually makes a lot of sense... But I still don't endorse sniping software

I prefer inflicting emotional distress on the competition :devil:

 

You bid your highest bid. Is that bid the fair value though? It benefits lowballers because they hope to get away with not paying a fair price for an item by holding your highest bid in reserve. There is a reason respectable auction houses don't allow this sort of thing. I bid what I expect to pay, as auctions are supposed to work. Its no wonder people are shunning Ebay more and more these days.

If I win, then the price was fair. If I don't win the price is higher. If I don't bid, the price is lower and somehow that price is more fair? I know of no auction house that will turn away additional bids.

 

A coin can still realize a "fair" price even if you didn't place the winning bid.

Someone else obviously felt the price was fair because they placed a bid for that amount.

 

No, If I win, I bid a price that they weren't willing to pay. If they were willing to pay higher, they should have bid higher.

 

What is to the left of the eagle's beak? I assume a scratch would have been noted by PCGS. Is it a mark on the holder? Die crack?

 

Does anybody know what the mark on Y of liberty is? Is it post mint?
