    You're OK, I'm sure. After all, you did get back a penny, so you're at 49.99.

    And this stunning 1964 Kennedy for $6.50 The surfaces are very frosty with very few contact marks. Most of the dark spots are frost breaks.

    Nice N clash! ;) I would buy every example like that one for $30. I'm assuming you've already figured out the VAM number..:)

    Yeah, I gave it it's own thread. I attributed it as VAM-14.1a, I was really hoping for a VAM-9 though. ;):D Correct reverse wrong obverse.

    I'd pay $33 for an empty slab with "Eliasberg" on it. :)

    Good morning from the Middle East lol,
    I believe it is because the coin is not truly secure in the holder. Henderson the reason the coin is upside down.

    Here is something that I bought on eBay and then traded for some coins that I really liked better. I made the trade with a local B&M.

    I bought this 1951-D Jefferson Nickel in MS-66 5 Steps in a small ANACS holder. I paid $35.59 for it in an auction.

    1951-D-Jefferson-Nickel-MS-66-FS-Slab.jpg

    I was not too thrilled with it and so I took it to one of my favorite B&M shops and made a trade with the dealer. I traded it straight across for the following:

    1955 Proof Set in the original box.
    1955-Proof-Box-Set.jpg 1955-Proof-Lincoln-Cent.jpg 1955-Proof-Jefferson-Nickel.jpg 1955-Proof-Roosevelt-Dime.jpg 1955-Proof-Washington-Quarter.jpg 1955-Proof-Franklin-Half-Dollar.jpg

    A GEM 1955 Washington Quarter, which I think came from a Mint Set.

    1955-Mint-Set-Washington-Quarter.jpg

    A 1968-S Proof Kennedy Half Dollar with a re-punched S mint mark.

    1968-S-Proof-Kennedy-Half-Dollar-RPM.jpg

    And finally this 1999 Susan B. Anthony Dollar coin with attractive toning.

    1999-P-Susan-B-Anthony-Dollar.jpg

    So all of those cost me $35.59 in the end. :)
