Congrats. I knew some folks would get theirs today!
OK . . . so, the Mint sucks because they sold out of LP1's so fast, and not everybody got a chance to get them. Now they suck because they...
Well, besides the fact that there is labor (wages, salaries) and capital investment (the plant, the mint machines themselves, etc.), and raw...
I wonder if, too, the dynamic might be related to timing. If I recall, the one that has more bids and a higher price was the first one up, right?...
Naive question: you search 50,000 pennies in a week ?!?! How long does that take! All by hand? Do your back or eyes ever betray you? Wow!
I think he put the first one up for a 3-day auction, and the second one up for a 1-day auction. Bonus question: does anyone here own a pre-2009...
Do you happen to know if tre the Tyler Dollar numbers final, or are they still in production with that? Thanks . ..
It could simply be the distance the coins have to travel . . . perhaps yours are just one day behind mine. And if FedEx, or the US Mail, is slow...
Yikes, with so many variations in 2009 I can't keep track of it all. Can you (or anyone) point to the US Mint product called "2009 Unc Mint Set"...

Good point, which relates to another strategy: I use "Auctiva" to manage my auctions. For one, it allows many, and good size, pictures for free....
OTOH . . . I think the Lincoln cent obverse is better than, say, the Barber series. But, going back to having every single thing be variations of...
Another must: use ebay or paypal or USPS to print shipping labels and pay for postage. If you were planning to add on "confirmed delivery" it can...
As Mark Twain once said: "find a job you like, and never work a day in your life!"
Too small?!?! :goofer: I hope you told him to take his complaint to the US Mint! ;)
Well, they make sorter-machines for pennies -- sorting the copper from the zinc -- based on weight. Perhaps there is one for quarters, too....
I agree with pretty much everything you are saying -- although perhaps I was a bit unclear about what I was saying. There are some people that...
Yikes -- something like that _has_ happened to me -- but it was a coin I had purchased, not sold. It was an MS modern Jeff Nickel -- I'm sure it...
