So I made a mistake and won the 1939 ms69 FB Mercury for $14,000

When I pushed the button it said $1.00 and boom I won the coin for $14,000

I sure hope they understand when I get in touch with them that I did not want the coin for 14k.

BIG OOPS

Pretty coin, but I doubt you'll be able to flip it on eBay for $28,000.00.

jb,

I was watching that auction live from e-bay also. As I recall it did jump to $14,000.00 awfully quick. I think you will have to sell a lot of toned coins for that one

Good luck, it's a beauty!

At least it will fit into your set as a toned dime

They can offer it to the next lowest bidder. That's the big problem with the live auctions. the bids jump crazy increments. Of course too many returns or mistakes & they'll BAN you.
