Looking through Sleeze Bay and see this auction.

1912 JAPAN 1 YEN NGC AU58

OK, 1st for an AU58 that is a bit too high. 2nd it's Blue Moon coins. So I figure WTF and I send them an offer to buy the coin at $60. Well I now own a 1912 JAPAN 1 YEN NGC AU58!

It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    You bought from Blue Moon Coins!? Wow.

    At least they took your offer. It is a great looking coin!

    Now I wonder why they never took my offer on those great 1955 filled 5 Lincoln cents. image

    If it makes you feel any better, I smell resubmission and upgrade potential. Great price! image






    Hmmm, I just saw the other side, maybe I was too quick to talk about upgrade. image Still a great price though. image

    Nice coin Marty (actually I bought a coin from them too, but that was a long time ago).

    Good pick up Marty. You're braver than me, I have not yet rolled the dice with Blue Moon image

    Hey Marty I take it you took advantage of Blue Moon's "make an offer Tuesday" huh? Very sweet coin sirimage

    Yeah, I wanted those filled-S 1955 cents too but couldn't offer more than $50 for the roll; don't have $400K lying around.

    Nice coin. I made Blue Moon an ebay offer recently. Their "buy it now" was $399 on a $40-$50 coin. image

    I offered $45, but it was rejected image - Preussen

    All well and good for you youngsters, but I'm too old to recover if I blow one.image

    That year was the first silver ¥1 I ever bought - about $25 for a raw XF - a while back.image

    I guess they figured that "Find a Sucker Tuesday" wouldn't work for that coin. image

    I admit to have bought two coins from Blue Moon. Both were "make an offer" NGC slabbed pieces that I offered about 50-60% of trends. Both coins were nice and have been crossed to PCGS holders.

    I agree with the folks about avoiding the uncertified stuff but I think you could do well with slabbed material.
