Wondered how the action was.

I watched it for a bit, but it was 90% junky Binion Morgans, so there wasn't much to see.

I bought 5 junker Morgs. 3 had virtually no bids, 1 had a little action and snipers tested me on 1 because the price went up almost $40 in the last several minutes and I had to fight for it.

Dog,

Pick up any cool fingerprints?

Russ, NCNE

Dog97 · April 28, 2003 8:28AM

No prints Russ. I guess the most interesting thing I got was a holed Morgan. I believe it was the one Mr. Binion had in his pocket when he was assassinated in his casino. The bullet actually passed through the coin then entered Mr. Binions body where the lead poisoning killed him. A very unique slabbed coin with the Binion Provenance.
BTW, one of the ones that generated no interest.

Now if NGC put that on the label like that SEGS pedigree of "FedX damage", I would buy it.

Yet Dog says he had to battle it out to the end on one. Guess some folks don't understand unusual huh Dog.

LMAO..... I could have sworn he got killed by some snake (I mean lady) that he met at the strip joint, and the the guy he hired to stash everything. Getting ready for that eBay auction are you?

Hey Dog,

What caliber was the bullet? We talking 44mag here, or something wimpy like a 32?

Hey Dog97, was this the coin with the hole in it that you won?
1921 Morgan with hole on Teletrade

Dog97 · April 28, 2003 9:33AM

Yep! That's mine now. And the one several lots before it I think, the 21-P with the advertising sticker on it.

CoinAddict · April 28, 2003 9:39AM

Here is the 1921-D Morgan with sticker.1921-D Morgan with sticker on Teletrade

That's mine too. And you know I can't pass up a 97-O: Text
Hey you guys can laugh all you want but I find these very interesting. These are real working man's coins with history & character.

stman · April 28, 2003 10:19AM

I'm not laughing.... actually, I'm getting to appreciate and understand "unusual" I better go see the head doctor I guess.
