eBay Bucks + Bing Cashback = morning half cent impulse buy

Posts: 5,345 ✭✭✭
I got an eBay message this morning, saying that I had en eBay Bucks certificate to spend, so time to do some shopping!
As I saw this listing, I checked and realized that I don't have ANY 1833 half cents in my collection; not even a VG. Yikes.
Time to remedy that.
Pics below. There's a spot behind the bust; lightening the slab picture in Photoshop to reveal detail doesn't make it out to be too bad. Mark-wise it appears to be very clean. Looks to have a very nice amount of lustre, more than most pieces I see. I'm guessing the color is somewhere between the slab and nonslab pics.
Greysheet = $475
Numismedia Wholesale = $535
Numismedia Retail = $670
PCGS Price Guide = $700
Coin World = $1,000 (YIKES!)
Final cost: $495 BIN - $85.89 eBay Bucks - $39.60 Bing Instant Cashback = $369.51 shipped. Woot.

I too made an impulse buy this morning to use my eBay Bucks (no cashback though!)
It's a lower grade, common variety, Bustie, but one which the attribute was more important than anything else.
Pics to come once in hand.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Actually, I think that the price was quite reasonable even before the discounts. Those were just icing.

If you didn't get cashback that just means you have to buy another coin. Bummer.

Yeah, I think I'm beat. I would love to have used that $43. Well, back to shoppin'.
