<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 660821, member: 18157&quot;]Here&#039;s one that I really don&#039;t know if it was a good deal or a bad one. This is a perfect example of why I say &quot;don&#039;t bid on anything you don&#039;t understand&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I bought an IHP for $1200 that was advertised as 1888/7 PCGS MS-58&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>...which was also described as &quot;FS-01-1888-302[010.7]&quot;. I wasn&#039;t familiar with the Fivaz-Stanton code. The slab listed the coin as 1888/887 so I was a little suspicious.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I thought I was bidding on the &quot;classic&quot; 1888/7 overdate...or &quot;FS-01-1888-301[010]&quot;</p><p>...Redbook valued @ ~$20,000. I was actually bidding on a much less sought after variety; a valid overdate, but not the one I thought I was bidding on. Had I known what I was doing, I wouldn&#039;t have made that mistake.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I couldn&#039;t bring myself to dispute the auction, because I was at fault...even though the seller was being deceptive. The Cherry Picker&#039;s guide lists this coin @ ~$2,000.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Does anyone have any knowledge of this coin? Did I get a good deal or did I get screwed? (you can say that on &#039;50s TV...right?)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
