My First Snipe

JrGMan2004

I'm so happy... My First Snipe... I found it with an hour to go, debated it a bit, got a couple opinions, then went for it with a sniper service... Pics are bad, but it looks like it has the look I'm going for... if not... resell... but still, I think it'll turn out alright

I hope it's not PVC Good one Russ... from how the color looks, I think it's what I'm looking for... reference Icon coin...

nice snipe, the coin was on my watch list but I snoozed through the end.

just out of curiousity, what was your bid? I was going to put in $106...

Hey that is one rare coin look at the label it says 1831 5c....... Never saw a nickel like that!

Way ta go JrGman2004!

Baley: I put in $65... which is about right for a VF30... XF coins are closer to $100... My target price range is $50-$75 for eye appealing Capped Bust Half-Dimes that fit the color look I'm going for... this is the first coin I've found on EBay that looked like it would fit. I just saw another in the Heritage Live Auction that I liked, but it's MS63 and WAY out of my price range, that'd be a couple hundred, if not close to a grand...

And Thank you Puff

hmmm, I would have liked that coin at $66, but I'm glad you got it, looks like a super buy and well worth what you paid, crack it out and you might have yourself a VF35/EF40 coin there!

congrats

Yeah, it'll go to PCGS along with the other Raw one I have. I'm working on a Registry Set
