Happy Little Accidents, AKA placing an opening bid on an '85-CC GSA with rainbow toning and winning.

FadeToBlack · January 22, 2019 2:17PM

Placed a bid and proceeded to totally forget about this coin, before winning it for my opening bid... on an 8% eBay bucks day. I'm very pleased. Not the highest grade but I'll live thanks to the color.

Congrats.

Great color on the reverse. Obverse looks to be about a 62. Congrats.

Great accidental score. Don't expect this to happen again, though it might.

ElKevvo · January 22, 2019 3:59PM

Nice coin! I like the color..

Very cool coin. They say reverse toning doesn't get the money so that might be the reason for your win.

What a beauty deff a great score and something you dont see to often especially at some shows

RogerB · January 22, 2019 5:50PM

Nice reverse. Usually opening bids get squished.

I really like that orange/russet rev tone. nice win for you!

$840, $1440, and $780 are the prices on the 3 65s that were sold at auction by HA at FUN.

Lots 8493 8494 and 8495

All three PCGS MS65 realized $690.

PCGS, and not GSA. Apples and Oranges. How is it the kid schools the old guy again?

I bet you $500 I can flip this for a tidy profit after fees and all. Figure I can get a pretty nice replacement with my bankroll after that.

How long until this account gets banned and you make a new one??

If you need me to hit like so that you can get to bed, i will. OK...done.

You have been doing this long enough to know that GSA holder premiums do not kick in until the grade gets to 65DMPL or 66 and higher without the mirrors. Your coin is decent, but as your motive seems to be to flip rather that to collect, It is a pass. You might cobble out a few bucks if the Ebay Bucks rebate is factored in. So all good I suppose.

I considered a cut bid on the 3 Gems 65's but even at a shot at $720 I let them go.

If you find criticism distracting to your goals, I will gladly step away from your "look at me" threads.

Accident meaning train wreck? At least there is the Wrights Silver Cream. You can make her look nice again. Congrats!

I would pay $750 for that coin right now, no grading needed.

Paradisefound · January 22, 2019 8:28PM

I really like the fact that she is very MS67-ish and the Eagle is basking in the vibrant colors Great way of forgetting your bid

ChrisH821 · January 22, 2019 9:32PM

Nice coin, and 85-CC GSAs are always cool, but I'd consider the toning neutral.

Broadstruck · January 23, 2019 9:25AM

Congrats... Meatwad would be proud!

asheland · January 23, 2019 9:34AM

I like it! Nice pick up.

ElmerFusterpuck · January 23, 2019 9:47AM

Nice pickup! I also have an 85-CC GSA with nice reverse toning, graded MS-63 by NGC. Think I bought it long ago on Teletrade for around $500. Probably could get more on it, has the box and everything.
