    Boy that is dirty! Looks like a NEN pic??

    I doubt anyone else will get the answer. I went to the site looking for something else and happened into the dirty $20.

    That's hot. If it's not MS65 or better, it better be grungy. Anything in between ain't worth having!

    I would guess Winter, CRO or Legend...the first two are out and it seems too low grade for her ladyship...so d@#m if I know.

    How about DLRC or Teaparty?

    Nice! image

    I am guessing the price was right as I recall you saying once that their prices were 25-40% higher than retail.

    I would have been a buyer 10% or so higher.

    Dear Stack's,

    Perhaps you are distracted by your upcoming merger with Bowers. But there is absolutely NO excuse (and I mean NONE) for selling coins for even a cent less than a retail fish is willing to pay. Please be advised, that in the event you have the opportunity to stick a coin to Mr. RYK in the future, you should mark it up an additional 10%, at a minimum.

    For the right price, I will not make your egregious error known to either Bowers or Mr. RYK.

    Sincerely,
    Mark Feld

    PS - might I suggest that you tack on a shipping charge that will make up for the 10% you left on the table in this instance.

    Don't worry, Mark. Stack's is still ahead in the relationship. Way ahead! image

    RYK, that is such a great coin: Hefty double eagle of gold, Civil War date, Big ole S mintmark, filthy dirty with actual spendin' history.

    Fortunate is your ability to casually pick up such pieces on Saturday afternoons..

    I received the coin in hand yesterday, and it was every bit as filthy as the photo suggests. The invoice included a nice, personal note from Andrew Bowers, thanking me for my purchase and offering me his assistance in the future. Maybe ol' Stack's is really turning the corner. image

    Pffft. When you get a personal note from QDB, please let me know.
