Greg G.: You've got a "$5.00" coin and I'm offering you $100.00 for it! <UPDATE>

braddick · January 11, 2002 9:02AM

Greg, You've been teasing me with your PCGS PO01 Columbian for a year now. Come on. Time to sell! $100.00 Paypal'ed into your account right now!
You KNOW that is my rightful coin- you're just temporarily in possession of it.
It's begging to join my Registry where it'll feel right at home with all his bretheren.

Set it loose Greg!

Greg has generously sold this POP 01 COIN. It is now Prominantly FEATURED in My "Worse Known" Registry. Thanks Greg! Dog97 got his Supercoin dime, I now own the worse Columbian on the planet. Life IS good!

Braddick:

I am familar with the term "to make" a coin, eg, "I made a MS66 today" but to me, the term generally seems awkward. However, in this case of the PO01 coin you desire, you might be able to actually "make" the coin. Start with a Columbian grading 30 or whatever, plunk it in your pocket and wait. Of course, it likely would take a few years, but I have confidence in you--you can do, you can make this coin!! Indeed, depending on the size of your pockets, you could simultaneously "make" almost your entire commemorative collection. I think in this case these coins really would deserve the Braddick pedigee because you would have "made" them in two senses of the word!!

Mark

P.S.: I just had a thought. If your pockets are a little small so you can't fit all the coins you need in them, perhaps you could lease(!) some of the other board members' pockets or purses and send us the coins. We could help you make your entire collection as rapidly as possible!

Very funny, Mark. I volunteer to make the Monroe for you, Pat. They seem "soft", straight from the mint. Start with a VF? It shouldn't take long.

braddick · January 11, 2002 12:10PM

Thanks Mark. I'd be afraid though, after waiting all those years to wear it down the date would be the first to go and thus my hopes for a PCGS slab around it (1892/1893?).

braddick · January 11, 2002 12:15PM

Come on guys! Let's light a fire under Greg! I want (no, scratch that. I NEED) his coin!
Greg, don't make me have Spooly formulate another poll (just kidding Eric) to see what the consensis is.

Ship Me My Coin!

gmarguli · January 11, 2002 2:03PM

A $5 coin? I think not. It's value has doubled since your last offer a few months ago. You're also not the only one interested in this rarity. When RegistryCoin was informed about this Pop 1 coin, he made a sizeable offer. He's only looking for the best. I am not at liberty to discuss the specific dollar amount of his offer, but let me just say that with all that money, I'll have no problem Super Sizing my meals for the entire weekend.

In case anyone hasn't seen my beauty:

braddick · January 11, 2002 4:43PM

Great. Now you've gone and shown the scan of this beauty. I'll have to compete against many other bidders now.
Dang.

One day, Greg. One day.

Dog97 · January 12, 2002 3:57AM

Greg is a bad bad man. Remember my $3,000 dime that Supercoin wouldn't sell me Pat? And you Spooly & Greg tormented me about it for months?

What goes around comes around. Make him beg Greg!!!

Spooly · January 12, 2002 4:04AM

Sorry Braddick! After seeing the scan, I bought it for $150.00. But I will lease the insert to you for a small fee.

Thanks Greg!

khayse · January 12, 2002 4:25AM

Hey Greg, I'll put $20 in the Braddick P01 fund.
C'mon, what do you think? $120?

I know you want to sell.

tjkillian · January 12, 2002 4:44AM

Make sure you get the best price for it. I sold Pat my pop 1 coin, a 1795 Large Cent, but he only paid me $2.60 for it, although $2 were minted in the 19th century.

Dog97 · January 12, 2002 4:58AM

It would also make a good mate for my beautiful rainbow 93!! So what's the price for me gmarguli??

gmarguli · January 12, 2002 6:01AM

Dog, technically that $3,000 dime is mine. I don't recall ever being paid for it. Don't make me take you to Judge Judy to get paid. However, I'd be happy to work out a trade of THE DIME and some monetary considerations for my POP 1 - 1893 Columbian.

khayse, $120... we're getting there. At some point the money will get high enough that even though I enjoy owning it I'll sell it.

Dog97 · January 12, 2002 6:35AM

gmarguli you are a reasonable man after all. I retract all the mean rotten things Ive posted about you and the flaming email & PM that I sent you. Please accept my humble apoligies. As you well know I will spend large and unreasonable sums of money for coins whose only attributions are that they are wanted by me. I think a deal including The Dime is in order and can be easily completed.

braddick · January 14, 2002 5:36AM

The pride of ownership! Thanks Greg. My Commemorative Registry is another step closer to remaining in last place. Yes!

Higashiyama · January 14, 2002 7:23AM

Braddick -- don't look back, I've got competition for that Columbian!

gmarguli · January 14, 2002 8:24AM

Higashiyama, too bad that's an 1892. Braddick already has one of those.

Braddick: He's in the mail. You should get him tomorrow.

khayse · January 14, 2002 8:26AM

Man, I love it when everyone on the forum gets along.

-Keith H

braddick · January 14, 2002 9:14AM

Thanks Greg. Your Columbian just bumped my Registry to 40% complete. Now, if I can just get Mitch to tighten the screws on the owner of that GD06 Hawaiian...

gmarguli · January 14, 2002 10:57AM

Just wait until Braddick find out I crossed the coin and it's now in an ACG AU55 slab.

Higashiyama · January 14, 2002 6:21PM

Greg -- 1892 or not, you have to admit its a pretty coin!

Greg G.: You've got a &quot;$5.00&quot; coin and I'm offering you $100.00 for it! &lt;UPDATE&gt;
