<p>[QUOTE="superc, post: 1818199, member: 44079"]Thanks. That one was $175 on Ebay. I see a lot of these going cheaply because someone 'destroyed' them by putting them into a bezel or something. Many times, a little heat, and the solder just drops off. I have acquired one of those (an 1851) as cheap as $154, and also some $2.50 golds and have also seen similar $5 coins. Seems much cheaper to me than bidding top dollar for a numismatic version of the same coin. I haven't picked up any of the 'love' coins (one side slammed flat with some initials or a cute saying carved into it) yet, but have been watching one of those lately. I figure I will check it 4 minutes before the auction ends and if it is still under spot, I will add it to my little cloth coin bag. Gold is gold. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
