Why eBay? I guess you'll get paid more quickly, but they don't deserve such a coin.

Yes, try the BST first. WE deserve it more than the unwashed masses on eBay!

Nice coin and opportunity, but it becomes spam when you mention the prospective sale and venue.

The poster was just letting that the coin going to be on the market!
NO price was stated so I say all is ok!
Anyone or every one can make an offer and suggestions to the poster.

I remember a certain redditor Codename_Pepe found it in the junk bin at his lcs

I was at my lcs, going through a tray of foreign junk silver and found it mixed in there. Almost didn't even bother, but it looked old, so I held it up to the light to see what it was. I bought it along with some other junk silver, didn't really realize how significant it was until I did some googling. Shop owner didn't even look to see what it was, and I didn't say anything.

Hi Cameonut, respectfully I disagree. Our thought process was we wanted anyone who could see it in person to have the opportunity, but did not want them to think they would be able to purchase it at the show. More than a few folks saw the coin over the last little bit of time and wanted "first shot" or to come to a purchase price on the spot...I guess it could have been worded differently, my apologies as it was not my intention. I do recall quite a few coins called out for view at shows that were going to be on great collection, etc. Happy Halloween, RJ

Thanks Pat, you know me, and know that was not my intention. RJ

On the market and where, too. For those who think the post was spam, the fact that no price was mentioned is probably largely irrelevant.

@Verno Thanks for the picture!! That is A special coin.
