Sorry to hear about your friend. The coin dealers here in Kansas City are far an away the most reputable buyers of scrap gold and the like, and...
Agree that the show has grown considerably as has the entire world side of the hobby. Much healthier overall than the US side of the hobby just...
I couldn't afford to buy them today either, have had them a long, long, time. The 1869 Guatemala 20 Peso cost me something like $425 back when...
I know what you are describing. You can retract a bid if you discover your mistake with more than 24 hours left in the auction. You have no idea...

I checked airfare this morning, and as of today over $400 round-trip from KC to fly in and out on that Friday. If I can get a last minute airfare...

So, another example is out there. Very interesting. If you want to confirm it is from the same die (at least same obverse die) check the date...
