Thank you dog -97 for not snipping. I had my hands full with a dealer who

kept running up my tail ,but in the end the bear triumphed. I only paid 13,400 times

face value. Not bad for a purple penney 1930D. Yaaaaayyyyyyy..................I think.

I will have to eat a jelly donut just to settle my nerves.
There once was a place called

    Good going Bear - I almost sent Russ a PM inquiring about it as I recently saw a similar 1909vdb that board member "DAHLONEGA" owns and it was gorgeous!!!! I'm sure it will bring you as much joy as a dozen grape jelly donuts! image

    CT,

    The image isn't showing, but checking the properties, yes that's the one. I didn't post that I was selling it, because I posted the image of it here in the US Coin forum. A couple people did PM me, though, asking about it.

    Bear,

    That was JP The Mint that was bidding against you. From what I understand, a major dealer.
