<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1463903, member: 26030&quot;]<b>brg5658</b>, I think your posts are bordering on the bizarre.&nbsp; Are you having a bad day or something?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I pulled that 1941 Proof mintage figure from this website:</p><p><a href="http:// http//www.lincolncentresource.com/Checklists/MintageFigures.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http:// http//www.lincolncentresource.com/Checklists/MintageFigures.html" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http:// http//www.lincolncentresource.com/Checklists/MintageFigures.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http:// http//www.lincolncentresource.com/Checklists/MintageFigures.html" rel="nofollow"></a><a href="http://lincolncentresource.com/Checklists/MintageFigures.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://lincolncentresource.com/Checklists/MintageFigures.html" rel="nofollow">http://lincolncentresource.com/Checklists/MintageFigures.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>They say 32,600 for the 1941&nbsp; ... but I do see the exact same mintage is listed for the 1942 ... so a typo looks very possible.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have the mintage&#039;s of the proofs memorized so I always just do a web search for the number.&nbsp; If your 2nd number (21,100) is correct, that&#039;s great news, as it means the coin is even rarer that I originally thought.</p><p><br /></p><p>All I wrote in my post was &quot;I bought this coin (raw) on ebay for $30&quot;.&nbsp; Actually my winning bid was $30.09 and to be honest with you shipping costs never register with me.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ok, so I paid $3 for shipping (BFD!). </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I also NEVER add in the gasoline costs or wear and tear on my car (to the cost of coins) when I drive to my local coin dealer!!!!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, I provided the link to the auction for details.&nbsp; That is about as upfront as one can get!</p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of you wanting me to ADD IN slabbing costs or photographing costs that I incurred a month later to <b>&quot;the price I paid on ebay&quot;</b> for a coin ... that is totally ridiculous!!</p><p><br /></p><p>I wasn&#039;t reporting how much I had invested in a coin ... I was simply stating how much I paid for the coin when I bought it on ebay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sheesh!</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, based on your thought process, I think you forgot to tell me about some other additional &quot;costs&quot; that should be included in amount that I &quot;paid&quot; for the coin (&quot;when I originally bought it on ebay&quot;):&nbsp; Coin Insurance, Safe Deposit Box Fees, Plastic PCGS boxes to hold the slabs, gasoline costs driving the coins to the post office and/or my bank, the cost of my computer and my internet service, part of my mortgage costs and utilities, and time wasted on these boards responding to bizarre posts!!</p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of whether or not Phil&#039;s TrueView photo was accurate, here is a photo I took of this coin before I sent it off to PCGS. It was inside a plastic 2x2 flip (so the glare off the plastic obscured things a bit), plus my iPhone is not that great at focusing anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/1941_O1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is Phil&#039;s TrueView photo for comparative purposes:</p><p>(you make the call on whether or not you think the TrueView photo was accurate)</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/TVBlack_1941_Linc_PR64BN.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
