<p>[QUOTE="Darchangel, post: 1539320, member: 37158"]So very early this morning, I'm perusing Craigslist for any new coin ads. I see a posting for an "1864 2 cent coin" supposedly in fine condition. He states that the rims are fine and the date is clear. Asking $20. I whip out my Redbook and read about the small motto/large motto and am IMMEDIATELY intrigued. Shot out a quick email to ask if the coin was still available and pics then went to bed. Later this afternoon I realize that I didn't get an email back so I call the guy. He hears me ask about an 1864 coin and says it's available but apparently I hit a bad patch with the phone signal. I tell him I'll call back. I start driving back into town where I know the signal is perfectly clear and he actually rings me back to say "oh, I know you said 1864 and I thought 'I don't have an 1864'....so I looked on eBay to see what you were talking about then looked back at my coin. I have an 1865, dunno if that matters to you or not. I must've typed it in wrong." :rollling: I said "well, yeah, it matters."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
