Rather than pay the eBay fees and put up an auction there with a horrible picture (in the case of the Barber half), or no picture at all (in the case of the $20 Lib), I thought I would attempt to auction them here, and save on fees.
Best offer recieved by noon on Sunday the 7th takes either and/or both coins. Winner(s) are responsible for appropriate shipping and insurance fees.
I guess this is not a "true" auction- sorry I had to put minimums on these ($1065 ea.), but I gotta cover myself somehow- I'm sure you can understand that.
If I am offline some and do not update the bid amounts on this thread punctually, fear not. It has been a busy week, and you'll hear from me. Thanks for visitin'.
1904 $20 Liberty, PCGS MS64
minimum bid: $1065
current high bid: $1250
Nice lustrous coin with clean fields. Formerly in an old PCI green-label MS62 slab, but I just knew it was WAY better than that! Just returned from PCGS. The PCGS priceguide now lists it at $1750, though I have seen some go on eBay not long ago for as little as $1400-1500. Sorry no picture is available- my cheapo scanner will not do slabbed coins, though it does OK on raw ones. Go figure- apparently that small bit of plastic slab between the coin and the scanner bed throws off the focus and makes the picture badly blurred.
Anyway, I will offer a 10-day return on this coin for any reason.
1898 Barber half, PCGS PR63 CAM, ex-Benson
minimum bid: $1065
current high bid: none (but a part trade/part cash offer has been made)
This coin is a screamer- all white with "black and white" cameo contrast that makes it look almost like a modern silver round. The reverse contrast is stronger, and would probably go DCAM by itself. I believe the current PCGS population is 3 coins. I set the minimum bid at my own cost on this one. Here are some low-quality pictures of the coin, which do NOT show its cameo contrast or color accurately. I have yet to create a picture that does this coin justice- scans make it look washed out and don't show the mirrors, whereas camera pictures either come out too dark or weirdly-colored.
You can see a picture from one of my old forum icons in my sig line. The picture was created from the reverse of this very coin, and fairly accurately portrays the DCAM contrast on the reverse.
I'll offer a ten-day return on this as well, though I doubt you'll return it once you see it in person.

A trade offer is pending on the Barber half if nobody bids.
