<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ZoidMeister, post: 8158863, member: 114169&quot;]It happened again!</p><p><br /></p><p>An ebay transaction that turned out better than expected. Here is the whole sordid tale . . . .</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I ordered two Daniel Carr pieces from an ebay seller I have occasionally done business with, Dave Hayes of JRH Specialty Services. The order was for two 2012 ANACS certified Stonehenge pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So the package arrives. The first item I pulled from the cardboard sleeve looks like this.</p><p>.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1423827[/ATTACH] </p><p>.</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought to myself,<b> “Oh crap. One of Dave’s guys pulled the wrong piece for the order. Now I have to deal with the whole return, reship routine.”</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><br /></p><p>Then I pulled the two Stonehenge pieces that I really wanted.</p><p>.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1423828[/ATTACH] </p><p>.</p><p><br /></p><p>My next thought was,<b> “Oh crap, I had too many items make it to the shopping cart. Did I actually do a Covid induced accidental purchase?”</b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then I pulled a note from Dave out of the package. That is when the shock set in.</p><p>.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1423829[/ATTACH] </p><p>.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had to do some research on that Blairsville piece. The ASE overstrike is a <b>very limited</b> production of just 25 pieces. I already own the regular silver / brass / copper made for the public Blairsville set.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was vaguely aware of the extremely limited mintage pieces but figured I would never see one of those available for purchase in my lifetime.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Suffice it to say, I’m going to need to see my dentist after that jaw-drop . . . . . .</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My sincere thanks to Dave Hayes and JRH Specialty Services for such a kind gift. Kudos to this ebay seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>Z[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
