EDIT: The remaining available coins have been merged back into my regular BST list, now.
1851 1/2C AU53BN, pop 26/284, my cost $142.18, PCGS trends $155.00
Ex-Dan Harding ("Coinpictures").
Asking $150.00. SOLD: $150.00 "e" Payment rec'd- shipping to be delayed, per buyer's request
1899 1C MS64RB, pop 433/92, my cost $95.00, PCGS trends $140.00.
Acquired in a trade with Don Rupp ("ajaan"), for a nice Roman Republican silver denarius. Don says this coin used to be in another company's RD holder (SEGS MS63 RD, he thinks). I daresay this one's a real "screamer", which is WAY nice for the grade.
Asking $135.00. SOLD: $115.00 "d".
1877-S T$1 XF40, pop 38/1265, my cost $185.00, PCGS trends $250.00.
Ex-Brett Smith ("BS"), from whom I have bought other nice coins in the past.
Asking $220.00. SALE PENDING: $215.00 "f", 7/2 (and "c" will meet that price if "f" changes his mind).

I'll use this post to store some of the sold-off and shipped stuff, and move it out of the way above (yet keep it here in case anybody wants to refer back to it or grab the pictures).
All of the following have been shipped.
1858 Small Letters 1C VF25, pop 27/810, my cost $49.00, PCGS trends $70.00.
Slightly rotated dies. Ex-William Perry, Jr. ("FilthyBroke").
Asking $65.00. SOLD: $65.00 "b" Payment rec'd, shipped 6/29
1943-D 1C MS66, pop 3489/2309, my cost $30.00, PCGS trends $45.00.
Purchased from Mike Sturgeon ("dbemike").
Asking $40.00. SOLD: $33.00 "t" Payment rec'd- shipped 6/29
1937 5C MS65, pop 4960/3555, my cost $40.00, PCGS trends $55.00.
Purchased from Frank Barrett ("slabfab").
Asking $50.00 SWAPPED "f", as part of a larger trade- shipped 6/29
1830 10C (Medium "10C") F15, pop 2/178, my cost $50.00, PCGS trends $55.00.
This coin was in my shop inventory for a couple of years before I dusted it off and slabbed it, just for fun. I forget its provenance, but it may have come from Michael Swoveland ("Aethelred"). Certainly it came from a PCGS Forum member, years back. Though not especially high grade, it is very attractive and original, and stuff like this is hard to find in slabs.
Asking $55.00. SOLD: $55.00 "n" Payment rec'd- shipped 6/29
2000-S Silver 10C PR70DC, pop 183/0, my cost $25.00, PCGS trends $250.00.
Purchased from Brad Glosson ("ProofRainbowRoosevelt"), at such a low price, I thought it was an error. Indeed, it WAS an error, but Brad still let me have the bargain, and free shipping, too. Ignore the weird colors in the scans- it's as frosty black n' white as a DCAM should be.
SOLD: $50.00 "a" Payment rec'd- shipped 6/29

1922 $1 MS64, pop 31076/5645, my cost $36.00, PCGS trends $55.00.
Acquired in a trade from Chad Williford ("SilverEagles92"). Nice cartwheel luster and some subtle light gold toning. The faint hazy areas seen in the obverse picture are not visible with the coin in hand.
Asking $50.00 (Worth it, too). SOLD: $50.00 "p" Payment rec'd- to be shipped 7/2
1832 1/2C XF40BN, pop 17/249, my cost $102.00, PCGS trends $130.00.
Ex-Dan Harding ("Coinpictures").
Asking $125.00. SOLD: $115.00 "g" Payment rec'd- to be shipped 7/2
1877-CC 25C VF35, pop 6/412, my cost $75.00, PCGS trends $100.00.
Purchased raw from Michael Laskosky ("tydye"). It's not quite a full "CircCam" but it's what many folks on the forums here would call "crusty" (meaning nice and original looking). A Carson City mintmark is always nice to see, too. Maybe it's not everyone's cup o' tea, but I personally like this coin a lot.
Asking $100.00. SOLD: $90.00 "g" Payment rec'd- will ship 7/2
1826 50C XF40, pop 101/1102, my cost $135.00, PCGS trends $185.00.
Purchased raw from Michael Laskosky ("tydye"), as part of a blind 3-piece "surprise" lot. I was pleasantly surprised. This coin alone is nearly worth what I paid for the whole lot, and the other two were both early halves (one was an 1812 PCGS G06). This coin should also meet the approval of those who insist on fully "original" and undipped Bust halves. The two apparent marks in the obverse field in front of Liberty's face are not- they're actually flecks of dust or something inside the plastic. With a loupe, I can tell they're sitting on top of the coin. You'll hardly notice them with the coin in hand, though- the light from the scanner seems to have exaggerated them.
Asking $185.00 (Have a hunch I'll get it, too.) SOLD: $185.00 "g" Payment rec'd- will ship 7/2
1863-S 50C VG10, pop 1/111, my cost $70.00, PCGS trends $45.00.
Purchased raw from Michael Laskosky ("tydye"). OK, yeah, I wasted money slabbing it, but I just wanted it in plastic. I like early S-mint coins, and this one was struck right in the middle of the Civil War era. Hey, it's a Pop-1 coin, for what that's worth.
Asking $55.00 (15 bucks below my cost- I'll eat the slab fees). SOLD: $50.00"g" Payment rec'd- will ship 7/2
1878 50C F15, pop 1/96, my cost $65.00, PCGS trends $70.00. Acquired in a trade with Gary Loveless ("TorinoCobra71"). Hey, look, Ma! Another Pop 1 Seated half! Haha. It's hard to find this low- to middle-grade material in slabs, 'cause stuff like this is usually in the Dansco 7070 sets (and looks nice there- this would fit nicely in such an album). Just missed VF.
Asking $70.00. SOLD: $65.00 "g" Payment rec'd- will ship 7/2
1853 1C AU53BN, pop 23/572, my cost $85.00, PCGS trends $165.00.
Purchased raw from Steve Vanaman ("Collectorcoins"). Note the repunched "3" in the date. Looks nicer in hand.
Asking $155.00. SWAPPED "a", part-cash, part-trade agreement, will ship with the other coin bought, 7/2
1860-O $1 VF25, pop 6/963, my cost $340.00, PCGS trends $365.00.
Purchased raw from Shane Miller ("Millertime"), who'd cracked it out of a PCGS VF25 slab to put in an album. Upon resubmission, I got the same grade. Though I sold a slightly nicer 1847 in ANACS plastic, I liked and kept this coin for its subtle "CircCam" look.
Asking $350.00. SOLD: $350.00 "a" Payment rec'd- will ship 7/2
1838 No Drapery 25C F12, pop 2/148, my cost $120.00, PCGS trends $56.00.
Purchased raw from Robert Miller ("commoncents123"). I paid VF-ish money for it (and then some, to slab it), knowing I was paying a bit too much, but sometimes one has to do that to get coins with a nice look. The "CircCam" contrast on this piece really grabbed me. Despite its modest technical grade, it has been complimented a couple of times on the PCGS forums. Surely it's not a generic F12 Seated quarter.
Asking $??? I'm overinvested on this one, as mentioned. It's worth a premium, for sure, but I know you won't think it's worth twice the trend price. Maybe you have some sort of trade offer that will work out to a win-win for both of us?
SWAPPED "c" Trade received and is acceptable- will ship 7/2
1959 50C MS64FL, pop 2008/729, my cost $0.00 (gift), PCGS trends $57.00.
This was a very generous surprise gift last Christmas from Gary Loveless ("TorinoCobra71") and Keith ("BlindedByEgo"). Since it's kind of tacky for me to be selling a gift, I pledge a modest giveaway of my own. Just because they gave it to me doesn't mean I feel like giving it away myself, but I can afford to be more flexible on the price with this one, obviously.
Asking $45.00. SOLD: $45.00 "m" Payment rec'd- will ship 7/2
1853 3CS AU55, pop 38/609, my cost $35.00, PCGS trends $165.00.
One of three very similar pieces purchased raw and on the cheap from Matt Hayes, a local customer. I had no idea they'd all grade AU! I intend to throw Matt a crumb or two if I see him again. He's a world coin guy who doesn't care much about US stuff.
Asking $135.00. SOLD: $110.00 "s" Payment rec'd- will ship 7/2
1865 3CN ANACS MS62 Rim Cuds. Hey! Wait a minute! How did an ANACS coin sneak onto my PCGS list? Ah, well. I'll let it stow away belowdecks. It's a nice piece with some interesting cracks and cuds, so noted on the label. Bought on eBay for something like $110 (but I got a little MSN cashback out of the deal). PCGS trends $95 in MS60 and $160 in MS63 (not that that's relevant to ANACS plastic), and 2009 Redbook says $100 in MS60 and $150 in MS63. It ought to easily be worth my ask, which ain't but a few bucks over MS60 price. SWAPPED "s" Trade rec'd- will ship 7/2
1946-D 50C MS64, pop 5908/9649, my cost $56.00, PCGS trends $58.00.
Received in a trade with Augustin Moran ("ajia").
Asking $58.00. SOLD: $58.00 "s" Payment rec'd- will ship 7/2
1882-S $1 MS64, pop 25123/19824, my cost $0.00 (gift), PCGS trends $65.00. Like the Franklin half above, this was a generous gift from Gary Loveless ("TorinoCobra71") and Keith ("BlindedByEgo"). Just because they gave it away doesn't mean I'm willing to, but it does mean I can be more flexible. As penance for selling a gift coin, I'm offering a giveaway of my own, above.
Asking $40.00. SOLD: $40.00 "s" Payment rec'd- will ship 7/2
