Managed to spot this guy from "ok" images and put in my 11$ gamble bid.

I'm in the works to upgrade my point and shoot camera, but these are the images I'm using for now.

Sorry if image is large.

    Looks a $100 bill, at least. So 'you suck'!

    Good work, coin looks undergraded as well.

    under graded yes. What I was really hoping for is that the mark on the center bands were just on the slab. It would have been a lock for FB if it wasnt for the one small hit.

    Not sure if this one is worth sending int ATM. I may just wait till I find a FB example.

    Well it should go 65, that would put it in the $175-200 range I think. If that helps any.

    Sorry I can't make a major score more often.

    On MY budget, a hunnert bux was always good for a YOU SUCK on an $11 cherrypick! image

    I bought old Whitman Mercury dime folder yesterday for 20 cents. It had a nice 1925d still in in it.
    guess that qualifies as a cherry pick!!

    I heard a "you suck" can be award in cases where the coin is worth no less than 10x what the cherrypicker paid. In this case, it is.

    I don't know how you managed to snag this from the really bad blurry auction pics.

    Impressive feat.
