Misspelling [Doily within the auction text and title is a minus.

But, after firing through a ton of these in my early 'acquisition' phase of Doilies, I have tried to be a bit more discreet. Let's look at it as sharing the wealth. In the seminal days of the Doily collecting craze (probably started by me -- guilty as charged), I grabbed every one. Now, I have a much more magnanimous feeling -- let all share in the joy that is a Doily !!!
Or . . . I already have so many Frankies I could choke. Now . . . put up a 20-center and I'll battle Astrorat to epic proportions !!!! That'll close out my Doily Type Set.
Happy New Doily Year to all !!!!!!

You are correct, but as I have stated, I am not good with computers and I did not check, for errors(I should have though). This to me is just nice entertainment, with a profit potential. Maybe not after e-bay and paypal fees. And I hope whomever wins it enjoys it also.
<< <i>I think it will break 500$. Very rare item the doily holder is very rare and you need to buy them at any price. Just to see one offered for sale is very rare. Rare. >>
I don't know about $500, but I can agree with the sentiment; as far as I know, PCGS didn't give out a lot of 66's during the Doily era. It'll be fun to see how much it gets. If you had to purchase a holder, this is a good one!

<< <i>What is cool though is that the holder is about as pristine as you can get, without grabing it right out of the press. I would give the holder a strong 64,65. This is nuts grading a coin holder. >>
Was just going to say that... We are going to need 3rd party holder grading on these....

I hear you, there is a beautiful proof indian cent on e-bay,in a doily. It is just way out of my range. But in my opinion that is a coin you can bank on if you can get it for a fair price, it appears not to have been messed with, at least since grading. if I could I would try to neogotiate for that one. I as well as many people on the boards have seen coins turn quickly in the holders.

I gotta remember how to do this!
The name is LEE!
The serial number begins with 227, indicating (theoretically) the day of certification. Out of the 400+ known Doilies, only one other has a cert number starting with 227 . . . . . . The 1871 Seated Liberty Proof Quarter -- 2274413.
That was the only allure to me. I have two other 1958 Frankies -- one in 65 and one in 66, so I am happy to share the wealth!
An interesting sidelight . . . . .???

They are really rare. So rare in fact, that you will have an easier time finding a snow cone in hell than you will finding 13 for sale on the BST!!!!
...likely because it wasn't listed as a Doily in the title......
<< <i>I remeber when it was frowned upon for promoting your own auctions on the coin forum. >>
ads are taking over the world, don't believe me, look around!
some companies are built on ad budgets lol
and i also enjoyed the days when shameless self-promoting here would be like dropping a goldfish into a tank of starving piranhas.
no returns: hope the coin isn't a 64. oh well, probably doesn't matter.

This has been up for a while. Any idea why it doesn:t sell?

Maybe the $850 pricetag on a $300 coin? There are a lot of them up on eBay which have been there since Moby Dick was a minnow because they are too high priced.

And that one has a green sticker already so it's harder to make the argument that it's undergraded. Would probably sell easier w/o the green sticker.

Yeah ... that would certainly be a full-cage death match!

I am going to guess, the ones he doesn't already have.

Does this mean I can ask why that one coin of mine has not sold yet? You know the one that is on eBay.
I expected it to go for the $150 range. Is the premium of the Doily holder coming down?
<< <i>Sold for $111.79.

For the common coins yes
But on this coin, lots going on. Common coin, two I already had so I wasn't going to bid, perhaps a thinning of the DoilyHounds, and when this started, there were 120 of them known -- now there are over 400. I think with 13 of them now listed on eBay when there used to be none, there is a perception of ease of acquisition.
Perhaps . . . . I'll leave it up to you, but I paid $90 for my MS65 and $145 for my MS66, so this is somewhat in the ballpark for the third known (at least) of a common date and common coin.
I believe the seller did well on his original investment, and the buyer did well also.

If you can double your money every time after expenses, you're doing well, especially if you report the income in 2012 instead of 2012.

Someone's already been starting the festivities this evening, eh?
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
