<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 371343, member: 12965&quot;]Howdy fellow coin peeps,&nbsp; :thumb:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I bid on a coin tonight and with 15 seconds to go, it was around $21.00 so I made a $51.00 snipe bid but someone else out sniped me and got it for $52.00. The coin in question is/was a 1839 Large Cent and I believe it was a Booby Head variety and a Newcomb 15 to boot(Rare). Since the Booby Head variety looks so similar to me, I thought there was a possibility I was wrong on my identification so I figured I&#039;d stick it in here and get you all to weigh in on if I let a good one slip through my fingers because I thought I had it with more than double the current bid at the end or did I get lucky someone out sniped my snipe?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here&#039;s the auction:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=330233532507&amp;ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBUAA:US:1123" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=330233532507&amp;ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBUAA:US:1123" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=330233532507&amp;ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBUAA:US:1123</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And here are the varieties to choose from (if you don&#039;t have a book):</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.coinfacts.com/large_cents/matron_head_large_cents/1839_large_cents/1839_large_cent_varieties.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com/large_cents/matron_head_large_cents/1839_large_cents/1839_large_cent_varieties.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinfacts.com/large_cents/matron_head_large_cents/1839_large_cents/1839_large_cent_varieties.htm</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
