kind of long but anyway ive had alot of other hobbies included with my coins. ive been collecting so much junk that recently ive been putting some of it on craigslist. one of the items was a 1947 admiral tv with UHF tuner that partially worked (sound no picture). after about a week it only took 4 different calls for one of the guys to actually show up and take interest in buying it to repair and sell at a later time. at first he didnt really seem all that interested in paying cash for it but we had talked so long that he mentioned he had some coins. whats even more unbelieveable is that half of what he had was large cents. since both the items we had (my tv/his coins) werent our main interests anymore he said he would show me his collection. the next day he called and had brought his collection with him. most of what he had was in a old dansco album and a few whitman books. he had alot of nice pieces but of course this tv wasnt worth anything close to the book so we worked out a deal. most of what i got was doubles except for the 1805 and the lincoln book (didnt care alot but he was basically giving it to me). just to give you guys an idea of what i was expecting my price on craigs for the tv/tuner was $80. also he has a book on newcombs that if he finds he said hed give me. anyway a list of what i did get. any opinions/grades appretiated all large cents 1803 1805 1843 1845x2 1848x2 1849 1850 1852 1855 any opinions/grades appretiated
honestly no. i payed i think $70 for it 3 years ago. im sure some of the things ive been trying to sell would get me some good money on ebay but having to ship something like that would kill you.
AArrrrggggg~trend Love the CRT and the Cents. But I'm already busted for using the "V" word too much today. Hope you both went home happy. I'm still holding onto my Beta VCR for a while, tho..... And I expect "V" on my old wire recorder.
yea i was really happy. id never get that much in coins with $80 off ebay. oooooooo wire recorder. ive seen a couple of those but never owned one. ive still got a pile of old radios and some viking cbs to get rid of. side note. some of that isnt verdigris - its just wax. dont know what whoever was doing what with these coins but yea.
