Message:: [QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 1958189, member: 36248"]It was now Late August, 2013 and on eBay I found a spectacular Seated Liberty Half Dollar that I could not pass up: <a href="https://imageshack.com/i/eyb0fef7j" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/eyb0fef7j" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/538/b0fef7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="https://imageshack.com/i/f0a66954j" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/f0a66954j" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/540/a66954.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>   I could just eat coins like this all day, and eBay was feeding my habit.  I would buy the next this and the next five coins from eBay before November!    <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie54" alt=":hungry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <a href="https://imageshack.com/i/p18e5811j" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/p18e5811j" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/901/8e5811.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="https://imageshack.com/i/ipa376f8j" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/ipa376f8j" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/673/a376f8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a> <a href="https://imageshack.com/i/kpd2867aj" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/kpd2867aj" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/745/d2867a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="https://imageshack.com/i/f0af20e1j" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/f0af20e1j" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/540/af20e1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a> A 2013 D $1 DOLLAR - SACAGAWEA PCGS MS67 (non-CAC, coin not shown) was purchased, just because I liked the reverse design and had voted on it in a poll on <a href="http://mintnewsblog.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://mintnewsblog.com/" rel="nofollow">mintnewsblog</a> at one point. Another non-CAC coin was fabulous looking and I couldnt pass up the price for a great Type coin: <a href="https://imageshack.com/i/kmqux6o0j" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/kmqux6o0j" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/742/qux6o0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="https://imageshack.com/i/ipijoEo4j" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/ipijoEo4j" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/673/ijoEo4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a> A cheap blast white Full-Band Mercury dime was next, and this would bring my eBay streak to and end: <a href="https://imageshack.com/i/iq7bfcc7j" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/iq7bfcc7j" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/674/7bfcc7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="https://imageshack.com/i/p7b5979fj" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/p7b5979fj" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/907/b5979f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a> Next up, I finally decided to check out <a href="http://www.greatcollections.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.greatcollections.com/" rel="nofollow">Great Collections</a> and boy was I happy with the simply but wonderfully toned Franklin Half Dollar: <a href="https://imageshack.com/i/ewc75743j" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/ewc75743j" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/536/c75743.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="https://imageshack.com/i/p82a3c97j" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/p82a3c97j" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/908/2a3c97.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a> I was very impressed with GC shipping and images, and I added the site to my list of daily hunting grounds.  The only thing I didn't know if why I waited so long. In January 2014, eBay would get the next two coins, a three-cent nickel and a lovely Barber dime, both with Eric P Newman pedigree.  Funny thing was, a few weeks earlier I had been wildly outbid on <a href="http://www.ha.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ha.com" rel="nofollow">Heritage Auctions</a> for these exact coins.  I figured someone wanted to cross them to PCGS, and when they didn't, they were dumped on eBay at very reasonable prices, and I bought them right-quick: <a href="https://imageshack.com/i/ezedaee7j" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/ezedaee7j" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/539/edaee7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="https://imageshack.com/i/ey972e8aj" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/ey972e8aj" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/538/972e8a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a> <a href="https://imageshack.com/i/iqeff828j" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/iqeff828j" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/674/eff828.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="https://imageshack.com/i/hl6875b2j" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/hl6875b2j" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/633/6875b2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a> In Late January, Great Collections would give me another winner, a reasonably priced 1995 DDO Lincoln Cent with a gold CAC sticker in a PCGS OGH no-less! <a href="https://imageshack.com/i/f037cce7j" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/f037cce7j" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/540/37cce7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="https://imageshack.com/i/ezada12fj" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/ezada12fj" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/539/ada12f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a> Two weeks later, I would get me second Ike, a Bicentennial Type 2 from eBay, a coin that had a fingerprint when it arrived that was not visible in the seller photos, but I still liked the coin: <a href="https://imageshack.com/i/id9fa68cj" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/id9fa68cj" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/661/9fa68c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="https://imageshack.com/i/ewbe790dj" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://imageshack.com/i/ewbe790dj" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320x240q90/536/be790d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a> to be continued in next post...[/QUOTE]
