I know the coin isn't worth the 30 dollars... I bought the coin because I liked it's color..
Unlike you guys I don't collect the coins for profit. I collect because I like having a nice collection. a Bright green half penny would be a nice addition... if it turns out it's not green when I get the real one in the mail then I lost $30.. who cares.

 

There is no price that is small enough for a problem coin.
I'd say the vast majority of the people here don't care about profits.
I think most people would find it strange that one likes to buy damaged coins and calls them nice, but more power to you. Just know that about most people wouldn't call a heavily corroded half cent for $30, a nice addition.

 

Guys, this is getting way off track and personal.

It was established as a contest, get it back to that or I will end it prematurely.

Thanks

Jim

 

Okay jim... I will just add that I like the coin for the color not corrosion hehe. If anyone wants to continue the talk on the $30 half cent coin.. it's thread is here

Just my opinion: I don't think minors should be allowed to run contests here at CT.

 

Please don't start a Photo Service

500 is my guess.

Thanks for the contest!

 

Thanks desertgem, I appreciate you getting people to keep up with the CONTEST, not MY PERSONAL BUSINESS!

I saw your thread, and this is only the second time I've disagreed with you, but that is a bunch of bull crap!
I can't help but think it is your opinion for coinmaster1 that makes you say this hey my opinion on him is same as yours, but it is so simple, a minor starts a contest, and gives away a coin, if the minor is intelligent to do so, there should be no problems about that.
I don't think the contest should be at fault here, he's 12, other members who are older, but still classified as a minor, have started contests and everything went great, and nobody has ever brought an opinion about a minor not being able to throw a contest or some legal mumbo jumbo into it, from the best of my knowledge.

 

For the same reason NGC and PCGS give out cheap Roosevelt dimes in sample slabs to dealers and show patrons. To advertise their grading service.

 

Everyone is doing great in the contest. Close calls. 36 numbers posted... so far...

 

36/1000...

 

Just a quick note before I post my guess... I'm 65 years old, but remember quite well when I started collecting at age 10. By age 12 I knew more about U.S. coins than I do now (and had a much better collection... which I sold when I got married). Never under estimate the enthusiasm of a young 'un... they learn much faster than us old guys.
