More to come too.

You didn't put all those holes in there on purpose did you?

CIVITAS

Not this time.....

Philip

I feel uneasy.

My 1/2 Drachma looks very similar.

Philip

I feel even more uneasy

CIVITAS

Heh, yeah that Greek coin was kind of a shame. Especially with the market as it is for them now. Oh well. "Dems da breaks."

I've wanted a holey cob for some time. I like that lot. I also don't have Queen Anne on my vest, and could use some cheap, unholed 2R pieces.

Just put in an esnipe bid.


You have a very effective way of dropping hints.

SYRACUSIAN

Rob, if you don't win this nice lot, I can send you a holed 1833 1/2 or whole drachma.

I demand that a Greek coin makes it to your vest.

And ever so subtle too, right?

I got mine as a gift from a fellow that is not a collector. Had to choose between it and a Bavarian 10 Kreuzer from the 1760s in especially ugly condition (also holed)

CIVITAS

OK, I had to resurrect this thread one last time.

I do have a holey 1869 10-lepta piece!

And one of these days I'll find a holey Athenian Owl...

lordmarcovan

WTF??

That's the third lot that esnipe didn't bid on for me!

Edit to add: I'd have won it, too, by less than a dollar!




...No. Wait. Esnipe says my bid was too low. I thought I'd bid $36.65. In fact, I bid $35.65.

So I just lost by thirty-five cents.

Bid early and bid often to avoid disappointment

CIVITAS

D'oh! I hate it when that happens.

I guess there's wisdom in Aethelred's slogan. Who would have guessed?

Thanks to those who bid. I think there were even a few high bidders from the forums here too.
