From $7.58 to $107.73 in the last 12 seconds!

I guess the $12 snipe I was ready to lay in just wasn't going to cut it. image

    Ouch! Over $100 for an SMS set!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Yeah, when I pulled the trigger and got the "your bid is too low message" saying the minimum was over $100 I thought sure Pepperdoodles was in on it. Looks like he's not the only one bidding stratospheric money on these.

    Man I bought one of those from my local dealer for $10 a few weeks ago. I could'nt resist it was sealed in the original envelope with the mint's address label stuck over the flap and the postmark from that time. But as usual with my luck no cameos, but no haze either.image

    Pennies make dollars, and dollars make slabs!

    ....inflation must be kicking in again this dollar says spend by Dec. 31 2004!

    how in the heck do you e-mail the high bidder with a straight face. i think i'd probably pick up the shipping on that one for him.

    baccaruda - they probably emailed the high bidder and asked him if he wanted a 2nd or 3rd set for the same bid price BUT WITHOUT shipping handling! image I would not be surprised if they also did a 2nd chance offer to the runner up...

    lol- probably.

    i'm not sure i could even sell him the 1 without confirming his sanity.

    Maybe it is a rare PROOF SET as I used to think only SMS sets were made in 1965. image

    it is an SMS set. the 1965s came in the standard 1964 plastic. the 66's and 67's came in the hard plastic holders.

    what am I missing? Does the winner think the half is DCAM?

    The seller sure hasn't been too active over the last 3 years.

    I HATE FINGERPRINTS! I have recently submitted a bunch of coins, and pray they don't get damaged in PCGS' hands.image
