    wow, look at that obverse strike! little weak reverse left, but some of the leaf veins are amazing!

    I like that coin!

    I saw that too and even put a bid in. Yes, it looks like the best MS-63 I've ever seen. MS-63's for sale are rare. I think that this will go for stong money.

    I am going to bet that it sells for full retail and then some!

    goose, do you think that is a die chip above the right wing?
  • nwcsnwcs Posts: 13,386 ✭✭✭
    Sure is a nice coin!

    Looks like it is.
    I also noticed what appears to be some die cracks through the A of AMERICA and the first 8 in the date.

    I really like it but alas the chain cent killed my budget. I hope that one of you can win this one...............and then sell to me someday!image

    Goose and all...are we looking at the same coin???

    I see not a MS-63 coin but a clearly circulated one and an 1856 to boot.

    Maybe, I need more coffee!image

    That would be a hard coin to part with. I missed out on a nice broadstruck one a while back that went for around 1200 or so. Was a nice centered BS.

    goose3 -- what do you think (that awesome) 1858 ms-63 will go for? $1k?

  • goose3goose3 Posts: 11,471 ✭✭✭
    I would not be surprised to see it go for 800 or so.

    Found it!! Nice.

    I better drink more coffee on Mondays. image

    If you want a really nice MS63, buy my 1858/7 VEDS, currently consigned to EERC!image

    Wow Goose, better strike than most 65s. I think that's a clash mark above the wing. Looks like it also has the outline of the wing along the inside lower portion of the wreath, part of it in the left loop of the ribbon.

    Goose:

    Looking forward to seeing the coin your referring to - ebay is blocked at work and I haven't yet been able to link up - will check it out tonight.

    Good to see Shylock back at the forum!

    Not sure why that's in a 63 holder! Would be fun to see in person.

    she's climbing slowly but surely.

    Lakesamman! any guess on ending price from you?


    If I hadn't bought that Chain I'd be all over this one!!!!!
  • LakesammmanLakesammman Posts: 17,413 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Sight unseen, hard to tell....I'd be thinking 64 money if interested, though ebay bidders aren't big spenders - I'll guess $816.

    785.00 and less than 1 hour to go!
  • LakesammmanLakesammman Posts: 17,413 ✭✭✭✭✭
    If it stops at $800, do I win the chain cent??

    That's a nice coin. My question is: why did you run across it? That could really hurt the coin you know. image

    Maybe it's just me, but do you guys not care about a seller's feedback when bidding on expensive coins? I read the feedback from that seller and I don't think I would have bid. image
  • orevilleoreville Posts: 12,074 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Funny...I never saw your price predictions until now..........image

  • orevilleoreville Posts: 12,074 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Petescorner: That ok since if you were the seller you would not want to sell to me either!!

    I am the only ebayer in the history of ebay to leave himself not just one negative feedback but TWO NEGSand a neutral!!

    Take a look at my feedback if you don't believe me...

    My ebay feedback!!
