    I think some are jealous they didn't snag the coin first.

    Next week I am presenting a talk on collecting Capped Bust half dollars to my local club and this eBay cherrypick will be one of the stories.

    If looks like the seller wised up enough to list coins with potential upside as auction items instead of buy it nows. http://www.ebay.com/usr/windinwillowz

    Who forgets they have a $10,000 raw coin and then proceeds to take pictures of it and then sell it on eBay without realizing?!? :s

    I came pretty close to that exact situation.

    I bought a slabbed, tied for finest known PCGS seated coin off of Ebay for $6800...the only person who even bid. That was a stroke of luck as I knew it was worth $8K and up all day long just as it was. The coin turned out to be killer album toning stunner...and higher end as I expected. One of the most beautiful proof seated coins I've ever owned. I even had the coin checked out by Heritage along with some other coins and they agreed it was a very high probability to upgrade to PCGS 67. 3-4 years later I somehow dragged that coin out of the bank "on a low cash-flow induced stupor" and took it to a show w/o recalling the previous Heritage review. I just blew it. Sold the coin for 66+ money making a piddly 25%....never even attempting an upgrade or sticking it in auction. A few months later it turns up in a major dealer's inventory with the PCGS upgrade as finest known at 3X the price....and it sold immediately. DOH! At least the coin didn't CAC yet....so I feel a tad better...lol.

    @roadrunner You have a picture of your coin? Sounds like it was a real stunner.
