    I have two coins that I will be parting with. Both are fairly recent purchases that don't fit in or weren't what I was expecting.

    The 1909 was a purchase from an eBay dealer I will never be dealing with again. Always too good to be true, always a disappointment. I want to be perfectly honest about this coin - it is AU+/UNC and toned a lovely purple on both sides. A bit of the toning on the brow of the obverse has been smudged. Col. Ellsworth inspected this coin at the CONA Show over the weekend and he believes it has been dipped and retoned. I'm inclined to agree. Nice conversation piece or pretty showpiece, but it won't come back clean. I paid $33.65, I'd like $20 OBO.

    The 1910 is a different story. The listing picture was a bit blury and it appeared to have a mintmark below the date. I bought this one at the top of the retail market for a Philidelphia hoping to sneak a great deal on a San Fransisco coin. My loss is your gain. Coin is AU+/UNC, lovely brown surfaces with a touch of red. Col. Ellsworth inspected this one too and recommended grading. If I was planning on keeping it, I'd make the investment. Not enough corn on the cob to sell it though. I paid $45.00, I'd like $20 OBO. If the buyer would like it graded, I'd be happy to submit it with my next PCGS order (likely October) for cost.

    Prices for each include shipping. Both coins are housed in AirTite Exact Fit holders. Interested parties can request pictures (I have the listing photos from when I bought these coins).
