<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SJVM, post: 782045, member: 21559&quot;]I think you should go to town in buying from this guy! Did you check out the pics? MS-66?? HA!! I&#039;ve spent Bicentennials that would grade higher in change, but that 08 LMC without a MM.... now that is RARE!! I mean, they only made 2,558,800,000 of them... right?&nbsp; Wait!! I just found one! And another, and another, and another, and another... JACKPOT!!&nbsp; Just like I said... unbelievable. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for eBay... I did not mean to say that it&#039;s all bad. I to have met some very decent people on there (both as a buyer and seller) and have done reasonably well for myself. Well, maybe I spoke too soon considering I just received my 1943-P &quot;BU Five Step Nickel&quot; today that does not have five steps... has definitely been circulated... and just happens to have a &quot;nice&quot; ding on the steps that really are not there (the closer I look at the photo in the auction, the nick looks &quot;photoshoped&quot; away to me) so here we go again. The seller did a GREAT job with shipping though. He charged me $1.95, just dropped the coin in a plain, un-padded envelope and slapped a 44 cent stamp on it (which took him two weeks to do). Lets just say that toolhaus is my best new eBay friend. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Can we say negative?? I&#039;ll give him the chance to make it right, but I am far from hopeful on this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am the same way with taking coins to dealers just to check things out. Not long ago I took a 1922 No D - Strong into a local dealer that I had not been to before and played stupid about it. I got an offer of a whole $30 (it is EF at the least) and was told, with a LOT of pressure that they were really offering me retail for it just to &quot;help me out&quot;. Yeah... sure.&nbsp; Needless to say, I have not, and will not ever be going there again. As for the Mint LP1&#039;s and LP2&#039;s on eBay, I&#039;ve seen some go for upwards of 10x the original cost and, at least to me, that&#039;s just too much. I would not mind paying a few times the original cost at all. It is my own stupidity for letting it completely slip my mind. I wanted to get them to someday give to my kids and not to try and resell or anything like that.&nbsp; I&#039;ve tried craigslist and looked a few other places too, but have not had much luck so I thought that asking on here was worth the shot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
