I wouldn't put it that way. I purchased it at the Buy It Now price and he sent it. He could have canceled and wouldn't hold him to it. My 1876 Indian Head I also got at 99 cents starting bid plus a couple dollars shipping accidentally listed as a Buy It Now.

 

The seller was skunked......not you. Good show.

 

Remind me to check those Buy It Now listings. Of course you got to weed through all the overpriced listings. These finds were errors though. I have got other deals where the listings or pictures were bad. Probably not a good idea to have a 1866 IHC with full "LIBERTY mixed in with a bunch of wheat pennies and provide a bad pic.

 

I guess the only real luck I had recently was driving a ways to a coin show only to find the most gawdawful mess of junk and graded bullion coins. I walked in to find myself one of three customers.

There was one coin and only one that caught my eye -- a slabbed 1894 Morgan. Since the dealer was twiddling his thumbs I was able to cut his price considerably.

 

A friend of mine got this in change instead of a dime about a month ago... he got about $230 for it on ebay a couple of weeks later
