Re: Excitement brewing..
The HA example needs a blood transfusion. Yours is crispy. Nice.

I find it unusual that you would criticize a card you were trying to win. Nonetheless, an uphill battle to get what the Registry warriors will overpay to own a label. The price won’t go down if another nice example pops up, if recently graded (the one above wasn’t) the bidding will be nuts.I don't think its a legit 9 which is why I did not bid that high. Not sure why that's unusual. Have you ever passed on a card that you really wanted because the condition was not up to your liking? Happened to me on multiple occasions.
Absolutely I'd pass. I pass on almost everything, LOL. If you don't think it's a legit MINT card, why bid at all? Just asking. No harm, no foul. Personally, I think you avoided getting stuck with an overgraded and overpriced card, so good on ya. I've opened tons of '77T wax and vending over the years and never, EVER got a Guidry worthy of better than an 8. The majority of the pulls either had black ink smudging or a crease in the center of the card. Manufacturing flaws plague this card and I doubt many more true 9s will come around anytime soon. Best of luck trying to get one. If you ever find one to your standards, bid the living heck out of it and hope for a win. Good luck to you.

Re: What would you do in this situation? (Panama 1982 1 Balboa .500 mule error KM 39.4)
Wow, that is really something and I'm sure a fascinating study. The mintages of Franklin Mint items, and especially those intended for "circulation" after 1981 are IMHO quite questionable with some piece of extreme rarity and others not. Problem was as I understand it was that the farm was not being watched over if you know what I mean.
I would need to see the coins up close to tell as the Chinese have been very busy. There is a very good chance that they are legit however and that is a major find if so. The 5 Balboas are not as rare as many people think and the one Balboa even before your mini-hoard perhaps a bit more common that the stated mintage of "11" - I would have guessed perhaps 30 or so.
Most of the One Balboas I've seen have some bag marking to them and just a bit of handling; the 5B coins occasionally come in the "mint sets" cobbled together by the Central Bank of Panama and not well documented in Krause.
As far as the 1984s, they also need to be seen as there were some things going on with that year & even in 1983. You may PM me if you like....
