Absolutely incredible... pop 1...

OK, yeah, maybe it IS pop 1. And yeah, it's pretty incredible, all right.

But ... I don't think you and I will quite agree on what kind of "incredible" it is.

I've sold better examples of that type- and its larger 10C counterparts- in my dollar pick bin at the antique mall.

But, hey, nice pictures... and plastic.

    What? No bids?

    I say that as I do happen to own many coins in slabs that have no business being there (as in, the cost of the slabbing was way more than the cost of the coin). For the old OFEC and the 'theme' coins it's nice to have high grade ones, even if they aren't valuable...but that doesn't mean slabbing makes a wise business expense. On the other hand, I do also have a couple of Japanese coins that are varieties/errors that are not recognized by the slab companies. It may LOOK like a couple dollar coin, but in reality they are a bit more valuable.

    Yeah, just another one of those "what were they thinking" submissions, but I guess we've all had a moment or two like that before.

    The seller could be a Litesider who didn't know any different.

    There is that, too, though if that were the case here, I suspect the seller would have mentioned what made it so special, besides being "pop 1".

    Too bad it's in a Gennie holder.

    P.S. Rob, your icon just isn't right.

    Funny, I was thinking Cheshire Cat from Wonderland. But yeah I guess it is a "cat fish" photo.

    Cathy hit the nail on the head IMO. Would I have submitted this? no. But if it fit my OFEC collection, I might've bid. But it does not, so I did not.
