Update: The coin in hand is just as beautiful as the pictures, if a little bit darker. Pretty much what I expected from the TrueView image. :)
Buy Dan Carr overstrikes just to rile folks up on CoinTalk. ;)
Huh?
This kind of thing really burns me, too. I mean, seriously... a modest monthly fee I can deal with, particularly if it can be waived with a...

Definitely picking this one up, as well as the high grade MS and cameo proof Barber halves. :)
Won this one literally minutes ago: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] 1904 Republic of Panama 2 1/2 centismos, AKA "the Panama pill" KM #1 NGC MS64 Mintage:...

Nice. I'm still working on 20th century, looking for (ideally) MS65 with nice toning, but I've picked up a couple of MS63-64 with great eye...
I hunt for state quarters in PGCS MS66 flag holders. They're cheap enough and uncommon enough to keep me busy. I have about 40 so far, so 60 more...
Don't forget to add the 17.5% buyers' premium. :(
You can still edit your post. Just go back and fix it. :)
