Message:: [QUOTE="bikergeek, post: 26230966, member: 112428"][USER=92655]@Randy Abercrombie[/USER] I'm sorry to see this lot that you picked up. I've bought three coins from them at auction over the past 4 years or so. In fact, this one is pretty special: it was the final Capped Bust half dime marriage, 1835 LM-2, that I needed to complete all marriages (not all REmarriages; that is a taller order). But this is a broadstruck railroad rim coin. And someone (perhaps an error coin enthusiast, or maybe a shill for the auction company) bumped me up to a pretty high price, relative to the condition of the coin. But there's an error guy who has already asked me to sell it to him if I ever sell. It seems that Capped Bust errors are scarce. Anyway, I avoid their coins that are described as "CLOSELY UNCIRCULATED" or "NICELY CIRCULATED," as those are complete nonsense terms. (The other two I bought, not pictured here, include a low-grade cud coin that is an R5, and a scarce 1832 half dime in a PCGS MS61 holder that went for a price that I considered fair). Net net, I had to wade through a LOT of yuk coins to find three that I like... but I still like 'em. PS. They called me once to tell me they had some new coins posted. I told 'em, politely, "don't call me.. I'll call you." [ATTACH=full]1675332[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1675333[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
