Best Of

Here’s what’s up. Gonna order me one and crack that sucker right open. No privy? Ok, fire that overpriced hunk of junk right back to Washington, DC, or wherever the return center is. I guess I’m a bum. That’s cool. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

It’s not a coin. It’s a medal. And not even a cool old school medal with old world craftsmanship. It’s a modern medal that looks like something sold at a museum gift shop. 🤮

No. My bids for buy it right. If one of the places I bid has a bid limit on me not aware. What a nightmare scenario put in really high bid way over sanity and then win it lol🎱

They should be locked up!

I think it's not a good use of time to argue if this coin is a 65B or 65C coin. Grading is subjective and sometimes even depends on the mood of the grader. JA is human after all. Maybe on some days he might think it's a 65C coin and on other days he might see it as a 65B coin. It not unreasonable to think that JA did not compromise his standards when he looked at this coin in 2021 and he actually thought it deserved a CAC sticker on the 65 grade. Remember that this coin was graded by PCGS, NGC, and CAC without holdering. So there was not a huge incentive to overgrade the coin or give it a sticker because the coin would not immediately be holdered. There weren't any pictures of the coin in a holder with a CAC sticker when the coin was auctioned in 2021. I won this coin raw and decided to get it holdered by PCGS afterwards.

This coin is currently one of a kind…..I look at the CAC sticker as recognizing that, not attesting the grade. It does not matter what graded slab this 1933 double eagle is in. It happens to be my favorite coin of all times.

I can't wait to buy at the Oreville safe deposit box fire sale as you sell everything off to raise $30,000,001! Dibs on any no motto branch mint gold!
