Was considering doing some slab cracking, but thought I'd give people here a chance at these. You guys get first shot at these for less than I'm going to put them on the website or eBay for.

You'll have to forgive the horrible photography. Pictures through slabs rarely work out well.

All prices including S&H in the U.S. International buyers may need to cough up a few more bucks for shipping.

Gadoury 242; cf. KM Pn46
Uncirculated.

Don't worry, I won't think any less of you for buying a "slapped" coin. (As long as you won't think any less of me for selling them.)

A bit too rich for my blood, but I like them!!! Especially the Zeppelin proof.

Checked out your site, ( for the first time!

Very nice!! Great large photos, and good prices.

I'm thinking about getting that 1821 St. Helena 1/2d, looks yummy.

Thanks. Nothing I hate more than a bad picture of something for sale. That's why I don't let my partner photgraph anything unless it's absolutely necessary. My pictures aren't perfect, but his are awful.

The St. Helena piece looks even better in person!

John,

SSP stands for Shameless Self Promotion. It's the way we prefix our pseudo-commercial (or blatantly commercial

) threads around here. Basically replaces FA: FS: or FT:

That's right ! Only SSP is usually followed by the word giveaway

I'm entering for the Zeppelin - thanks .

CIVITAS · November 29, 2003 2:54AM

I will gladly give away the Zeppelin to anyone who responds to this thread AND sends me a check for $575.00.
