1959 Franklin PF69 - Pop 2

There were 3 coins ending on eBay this weekend that I wanted, so I tried to be cheap and set my snipe to $533 even though I would have went closer to $600. Oh well, at least R&I missed it too so it won't be marked up $1200.

But where were you Lucy?

I guess I sold it too cheap!

I had listed it at $450 or so about three months ago, and it go no action.

Oh well.

I saw that one but wasn't as enticed since it isn't in a PCGs slab....

Morris-

You can blame the Registry for that. A few months back I was browsing for 1959 PCGS proofs on eBay for my registry set and saw a 1959 Franklin 50c Proof PCGS PR69 with a BIN of $495. I clicked on it and saw R&I had just bought it a minute earlier. He later resold it for $1800.

It's a pop 3 in PCGS and pop 2 in NGC.

I missed your NGC and wasn't in the market then. I think you would have been better off starting it at $300 with no BIN.

It's all a question of timing - you never know who's looking for what when.
