Message:: [QUOTE="mralexanderb, post: 319882, member: 7851"]Helluvatry roto, It was a good effort to try and win this coin, as it is a nice one. But until you have it in hand and examine it thoroughly it's really hard to tell if it's a Snow die variety or not. It sure looks like one with the broken wing hub. It may be a new variety. The winning bidder bid twice and I think his second bid was high because he thought it was a Snow 3 or something else to cherry pick. That's OK as that's what you do when you see a coin that may have potential. Hey, I bid high for an AU 1857 FE because I saw something I liked. I won it and it turned out to be a new Snow variety! Anyway, I'm certainly finding out how much a gamble Ebay can be. I'm going to have to use other sources for the coins I really want. Ebay has disappointed me lately due to the depiction and misrepresentation of the many coins listed there. There's really no substitute for looking at the coin "in hand". Bruce[/QUOTE]
