I tried my best, but lost anyway...please console me

......and tell me these are quite common and can be readily found as this is the only one I have ever seen and I was unsuccessful in my efforts to win it

I just didn't have deep enough pockets and with each successive bid I got further and further in over my head but it was just one of those items I just had to have

Does anyone else think this document is uber cool???

1892 PHILA.,MINT,TREASURY DOCUMENT/$1000 SILVER DOLLARS

Barndog

is it genuine?

Cam40

they had acid/sulphur free paper back then?

<< <i>is it genuine? >>



I'd be willing to bet, yes.

It follows the similar format of all the other documents I've seen from the other Mints. The ink and paper are also correct.



Extremely cool. If there is a single thign I've learned from buying numismatic related Americana on ebay, it's that if you really want it, you have to bid very, very strong. The value of this type of stuff has bounced up lately.

It's holed. Lucky thing you lost.

I don't know but Fred Weinberg bid on it which told me it was probably legit........but I don't have a clue really?

Remember the last time I had to console you?

I would've bought that in a second...perfect marriage of my two favorite hobbies: coins and paper!

It looks artificially toned to me. Maybe even cleaned.

Feel better yet?

The seller states in his auction that this is rarer then chicken teeth

Your evil Jeremy...pure evil

You lost out to Jeff Oxman, so my guess is that he had a nuclear bid on the thing because he, too, just had to have it.

He is a terrible human being ......but with good taste

Had I seen it, I would have bid it too and picked it up locally.

I question its color and toning.

It probably isn't pop 1. Happy?
