I thought you were a buyer of these at $1500 yet it took you two bids to hit the reserve of $450, something doesn't add up. I was going to buy this and sell it to you for only $1400, you are sniping it from me. Link

Adrian, how high ya going?
This one doesn't qualify. It may be a very beautiful coin in person with rainbow colors, but it's not rainbow pattern toned like his 63BN. This one is tissue toned and shows more of its color when held at an angle, as it was in this image. His was a dead on shot of an album toned IH proof that acquired a much rarer peripheral type toning that turned out gorgeously. I'm not degrading this Ebay coin, but I just don't think it compares.
And he was upped by a scumbag bidder, misiciliano, who seems to have bid on a ton of cameras.
On the bidding side, regardless of what Anaconda's maximum bid might be, why would you necesssarily expect him to reveal that amount so early in the bidding, especially when there are folks out there ready to bid him up?
I'm sure the same holds true for Anaconda's pr63
We're all still waiting to hear if Cobb settled up!
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
I'm not currently trying to sell either one of the ones I have on eBay and I made it clear in both auctions even though I have been criticized on this board by people who I thought were my friends, for posting them for 10K each. I'm weeping very softly now, because I have such sensitive feelings that no one ever seems to think i have. I'm so misunderstood. I just wanted to share with all my friends my good fortune of acquiring these pretty coins and all I get is mistreatment. It's alright though. I don't need any friends. I have my coins. And my computer. And this pencil. They'll never let me down.
While we're on the topic of books, I got a new book case. I put my nice books in them. Here's what it looks like:
And if you're thinking, "that's not about coins", well I guess you just don't know how many coin books I have, do you. Meanie.
Here's the other IHC I listed:

(Don't misconstrue my post - killing animals under many circumstances is OK by me. I eat beef, wear leather goods and have a 8 point buck and turkey on the wall. And this one:
ended up on my son's wall (that's him holding the fish...)
Greg - nice shelves. You must have one helluva house....

That's a great idea, but, alas, I had to sell the gun as a graduate student to raise some money. I borrowed my friends float plane and went hunting east of Kotzebue, Alaska. I was literally attacked by a moose that thought the floatplane (when viewed head on) was a challenger. He swam across the lake and started to snort, shaking his head as he approached the floats. I had to shoot him right there in the water. Took me 10 hours to get him out of the lake and quartered (tundra only - no trees to tie a come-along to). I was trying to be ultra conservative with the plane and aborted a take off run - the momentum of having 1000 pounds of moose on board carried the plane 15 feet onto shore. I had to sell everything I owned to pay for the helicopter, repairs, etc. So, a gun from my replenished arsenal just wouldn't look right. Great idea, though. The numismatic connection is, it cost a pretty penny to repair the plane.
Great looking fish (and son)! Must have been a great time.
what did the bookcase set you back?
Adrian puts his money where his mouth is or at least where his balls are. You've got to admire that.
I agree...mouth & balls.....NOT brain.
<< <i>$2024!!!!! are you guys shi*ting me? this has got to be a joke. >>
Well, the auction is almost over...only a little over 4 days left.

1) o.k. then, let's make that two bids to hit $2024 and counting;
and
2) this is the earliest snipe i have ever seen. Now if it were Russ, you wouldn't know you were being sniped until, oh, until it was gooooone.....
p.s., nice bookcases everyone....
Pretty coin but not worth more than $2000.
Man, I didn't think that IHC would go that high.
So, Lakesammman, how much were the repairs on the plane?

Greattoning will have to change his pants when he sees this bid.

It's easier to replace the cash than the coin.
(Or, tell yourself it's a Thanksgiving present. I know we don't do that in polite society- what, buy ourselves our own gifts, especially on a Holiday that traditionally doesn't involve the exchanging of gifts, but you're a groundbreaker- a rebel. Breaking the old rules and inventing your own! Go for it, and Happy Thanksgiving.)

This is exactly what I tell myself when I pay too much for a coin. It does make perfect sense. However I'm not buying to put it right back on the market. This coin has just gotten way out of hand. This logic does not hold for this average brown coin. OK, it shows some color when held just right under the right light but many brown coppers would. If I were this seller I would end this auction early and lock in the high bidder before someone retracts a bid. If the excuse of entering the wrong bid amount ever applied it's right here.
