My latest eBay snipe. . your thoughts?

Draco

1806 half

I watched this coin on ebay for several days and while the obverse "marks" are distracting, I thought I'd gamble on it and see what NCS could do with it. The seller calls it "junk" - I call it a nice piece of history and it will be the oldest coin in my collection.

Any thoughts?

That dealer calling the coin junk shows how much he knows about coins. Not much.

You call that a snipe? Come on at least get it in under 7 seconds.

What a bunch of junk (i'm talking about the description not the coin) Considering that its an early dollar light cleaning are accepted, even NGC/PCGS slab cleaned stuff like early dollars, bust halves, seated coins.... anyway i agree with the holder on this one looks like a nice Fine to me. Congrats on picking up a great coin at a sweet price.

I hate to admit it, but my wife was coming into the family room at the time so I had to put in my bid BEFORE she got here and I'm probably lucky somone else wasn't watching it too

Very nicely done. You can tell alot about a person by their text descriptions on Ebay. It is obvious that
this is a very unsophisticated seller. Early bust halves are great. He should know that 90% have been cleaned at one time. This is a very nice example and the price is great.
