I never had a magic set and wouldn't have even thought of that as an option. Thanks, guys. :)
Which is why a quarter is also referred to as 2 bits :)
Another example of everyone makes mistakes :rolleyes:
Thanks for the links, GD. I bookmarked them. It's very interesting reading. :)
At least with the dollar coins, there was some actual space in there. What in the world does this guy think would fit inside a penny? :confused:

While I agree with what The Highlander has said, it is also possible to trade quite safely on eBay. You just have to take the proper precautions...

That looks like a really neat coin. I would love to know what that was struck through. Do you think it could have been another planchet? There...
I didn't know that. What are the Australian equivalents to the US grades?
Rggoodie, Don't worry about it. I got to see them and enjoy them and have saved them on my computer for future enjoyment :D
Thanks, Rggoodie. I love the pics and so do my boys (we're all serious cat people :D )
I just heard from the seller of the coin in the OP. NGC got back to him (he actually forwarded me a copy of their email with his reply to me) and...
