Anything in the 2008 FUN auctions catch YOUR eye??

Lakesammman

This caught mine. From the upcoming Stacks sale.

Yup.....one single seated coin in orig, pop 1 gem condition. Sorry, but don't want to list it here until after the auction. Not likely I'd get it, but why make it tougher.

Not until you started this thread.

It caught mine, too.

I've considered dumping a certain Cheerios Sacagawea for this :

1856 1C PR65 NGC. Snow-9. Ex: Jules Reiver Collection. Considered a proof-only variety without any known business strikes from these dies. The obverse has a short die line from the border to the upper right serif of I in UNITED. The reverse center dot is attached to the left side of N in CENT, just below the serif. A pinpoint-sharp Gem of this perennially popular key date small cent. Although technically a pattern, the 1856 is typically collected as part of the Flying Eagle cent series. Its historical importance is unquestioned, not only because it introduced the small cent denomination, but because demand for examples fueled the growth of the coin collecting hobby throughout the second half of the 19th century. This attractive piece has dominant dusky peach-gold color. Well preserved, with only the faintest hairlines noted on the central reverse, and a few pinpoint flyspecks that are only likely to be found beneath a glass. A solitary fleck above the E in ONE provides a pedigree identifier. Census: 28 in 65, 3 finer (10/07).


Not that mine is worth thirty some grand, mind ya ...but it's tempting.

Where can I find this coin in the FUN Auction??? I might just have to get a THIRD mortgage on the house for this one!!



Thanks!!

You can check that one out at Stacks. Look under territorials.

I'd need another mortgage too, but it did catch my eye.

I would need another mortgage and a divorce lawyer. I am still thinking about it.

From Heritage's sale, an 1873 25C Closed 3 MS63 NGC seated quarter, the 1860-O in 64, the 1866 25C Motto MS66 NGC, the 1870 also in PCGS 64, the 1831 25C Small Letters MS66* NGC bust quarter (way out of my price range tho), the Kaufman '41 and '50 proof seated quarters are uber cool but also waaay beyond my abilities to buy without a second mortgage. The 1860 seated half in PCGS66 ty. II rev. is also drop dead gorgeous.

Here is one you don't see everyday!

This one caught my eye, most definitely. It's completely out of my league though.

Barndog

sadly, nothing in any FUN-associated auction seems worthy of a bid so far.

Lakesammman

Yep - that one caught my eye too. I hope the picture is bad and it's flashier in person!

the half eagles i can afford are all quite ugly to my eyes.
i can find better on the bay. heritage is almost like a dumping
ground for half eagles in my price range. what people used
to consider ebay was.. i now consider heritage as that place.

I have bid on 16 items, a total of $9,896.05 (With BP). I hope I will be outbid on a few of these, I just can't decide which!

The bad part is there are several more coins I tracked. The images either were not there yet or quit working.....

I have a number of holes in my main two type sets, and may make a nice step toward filling them. Another sad part is knowing I will not have a 1796 quarter, or 1796/1997 half, ever unless I have some big stroke of financial tidings come a to me. Even a moderate pay raise coming at work doesn't make much difference.

EagleEye

Yes, that one caught my eye too! I love it!

All the proof Franklins from Parke's Collection.

There are a couple that caught my eye that I can almost afford. I will refrain from posting them until after the auction.
