<p>[QUOTE="FBLfinder, post: 2859542, member: 89791"]Was just in the us coin threads and read about how somebody's son just picked up a knock off morgan for $100 that would been over $5k, as long ask you could catch the date and it made me think of my biggest mistake while collecting. I know we have all done it once and now it is time to share and hopefully make some else feel better knowing atleast you didn't make as big a mistake as the last schmuck. Lets see if anyone can top this one and get me laughing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will no longer buy from EBTH.com because of this blunder. It was two auctions for MS64 1858 and 1858o. I thought I was getting the deal of a collector's lifetime, but then again so did somebody's son, and picked up both for $900. I had everything worked out, pick both up and sell one to help on the cost of the one I was going to keep. So excited to get those in the mail. I was checking the mail box everyday like a little kid getting his mail-in cereal box proof of purchase toy to get the same reaction. "What are these pieces of polished turds?" All nice and cleaned just how we never want them so there goes the helping on the cost idea and now I have not one, but two shined seated liberty halves.</p><p><br /></p><p>And go......[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
