I already bid , got outbid

 

I've already got a half-dozen of them. Why would I need any more?

 

I'll guess the coin will get close to $50,000. In a 64 holder the price could double. Only a 10% buyers fee. Fun to watch coins like this.

 

I was out bid also
Winning bid:

 

Someone's gonna have a good Xmas .

 

but a 1856 Proof 65 Flying eagle cent all in sold for less that $21,000.00
I would rather have that FE

 

Wow. The price went up over 4 grand in one second.

 

I don't think I've spent that much combined for all the vehicles I've owned in my lifetime . . . .

And I've been driving since 1975 . . . .

I would hate to admit how many dollars I wasted on cars

 

I’d rather have a new car and a down payment on a house

 

The backstory on that is wonderful, and I was watching the auction (NOT bidding!) and hoping for a good return. ICYMI, an honest dealer (whose name is as yet not public - although I'm hoping it will be revealed) bought this coin in a mass purchase, and returned it to the seller when he realized what it was. https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/1969-s-ddo-cent-surfaces-in-hoard-sold-by-a-collector

 

This coin was found in a bulk lot of Lincoln cents purchased by a dealer, returned to the seller and the dealer didn't want any publicity or notoriety for his good deed.

EDIT: BikerGeek posted his reply much quicker. LOL

 

Add another "r" to that and you'll get close to my story . . . . .

I was short $444. I guess I'll have to wait for the next 1969-S DDO CT post!

 

I known that the 1969 S only had minted about 259,000 coins and it is Double Die Obverse, but for about $49,000. As mentioned above, I would rather have the 1856 FE or gold for that matter. But coin collecting hobby is about getting the special coin that fit into a set or having something that few people have. I guess I haven't caught the fever yet. I like to be able to collect a set than spending that kind of money that was spent on the 1969 S (or s). Anywho, congratulation to the buy AND the seller.

 

I have the fifty-cents, can anybody loan me the other forty-eight thousand. No offers, I guess I got lost in the crowd... Happy and safe holidays to all.

 

I wouldnt mind owning one again if i had the cash.

 

Zoid...the master of of space and time...never a real need for earthly transportation.....

 

Well, you know I was trying to downplay that aspect of my interdimensional homeboy self, but a shape shifters gotta shift . . . .

I'll disavow any knowledge of this conversation so I won't have to neuralize you . . . .
