    Back in the early 1980s, one of the finest known 1792 half dismes came up for sale in a major auction. For a nano second, I thought about selling my whole collection to bid on it. I figured that it would sell for about $100,000. The reported selling price was about $100,00.

    Later I learned that it didn’t sell. It was “bought in.” Therefore my estimate was accurate, but the owner wanted more. Therefore my efforts would have been a waste of time, my money and my collection.

    If you contact them at their website, you would get a discount if you are serious.

    Well, aside from the humor and all, here's a serious, if nagging question to come from these photos...they just reminded me to ask...and from an old newbie who doesn't read or connect to all there is to read: Why do the big 2 TPG...and some others of lesser stature/reputation...insist on putting their reverse slab labels upside down to the reverse of the coin...? Would seem so simple to design their holders (those that need changing...some do, some don't) to accept labels that read with the reverse of the coin so everything reads the same, even though at the bottom. So what...? Have seen a few done right by the big 2, but very few...not sure why, if by accident or request (doubtful)...or maybe starting to get the message. Thanks.

    Sure, I could muster up a few mills for a coin like that. In fact, if I wanted it that much, I could easily scrape together a thousand mills. Which would, of course, be face value... :troll:
