mrdq

5th attempt at this date



5th time is the charm!!


You have won the following lots:

Lot # Amount Description
===== ========= ================
17083 380 1842<H10C> MS64 NGC.

$455 was my max bid ever anywhere for this.. final cost... 445.25 total incl juice and shipping

not only did I finally buy one, I saved $$



I usually go 70% CU List $650 = $455
or i'll go 80% Numis Med $563= $450.40

I guess it pays sometimes to be patient and don't "bump it a little" to win any coin if there's a good chance another will come along. This coin is an R3 ("tough coin, a few likely to be found at major shows") with mintage of 815,000.

I've been looking for that date forever. Looks like a snipe is definitely in the cards.

Thanks for the reminder. I'm leading on the 1951 proof Washington....

I'll go in and hammer the site so no one can get a bid in (like the first Long Beach sale)

I tried to snipe the 1797 cent, but the existing high bidder was still above my snipe. I bid $146 for a G6 with a GS price of $85 in G, $150 in VG. With the juice, that went for well above GS VG price. No wonder GS has all plus signs by these coins!

I did get the Washington... would have rather had the coin George's friends might have held.
