Ok, what does "BM" mean in the grade?

To answer OP, probably the first I can remember.

At least shipping is free

jdimmick · April 29, 2013 10:35PM

I wish I could afford that!

That's one of the rarities I would love to be able to own

What did this coin sell for last time? Was it $1.9 million? After taking eBay fees out, it doesn't seem like such a big win. I think it is more publicity and marketing for the seller than anything else. If I am not mistaken, this seller posts a lot on eBay but at another time you will see the items posted cheaper on their website so they mark the items up to cover their fees on eBay which makes sense but it also tells me that I should focus on buying from this seller via phone or their website, not eBay.

I wondering what David Lawence was going to ask for that after I got the email that he had acquired the piece.

Ha! Indeed it is. If you buy it, I'll even hand-deliver it with a steak dinner!

Banemorth · April 30, 2013 1:24AM

You'd earn $100 in Ebay Bucks so it's like the coin is only 2,499,900!

steveben · April 30, 2013 2:12AM

that's a 2.5 million dollar coin. 1 million isn't even close.

renomedphys · April 30, 2013 2:19AM

To answer the OP, there was a dealer a few years ago that had a couple of novodels up on there.

San Francisco was a Branch Mint?

Dimeman said he didn't want it... So, all Dimeman has to do is have it
gift wrapped and sent to me. Fear not, DLRC, there are lots of good steak
houses in Naples.

All mints ( save for Philadelphia ) were considered
Branch Mints. San Francisco did not issue Proof coins,
only Philadelphia did. The 24 - 1894-S Dimes were all
issued in Proof Format, hence the Branch Mint Proof status.

Very economical to sell a coin like that on eBay, but I question the whole Payment Requirement's.

LanceNewmanOCC · April 30, 2013 3:33AM

sold - although it looks like one has been returned

$550k+ listings

Sounds good! I haven't been to Naples in a long time. I'll wait for the PayPal to come through though

Wow !!!

FYI, the listing fee is about 5-cents. If the coin sells on eBay... as of May 1 the new eBay fee is only $250. The new fee structure is a flat 7%, but caps out at $250.

No, it was $1.55m.
