    I guess I should sell him my graded 43-S in Bronze and 44-P in steel.

    I'd love to see the offers coming in.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    You’d earn $100 eBay bucks though...

    I remember seeing this 1943 copper in the 1980's. Think it may have been sold in an auction for less than $5,000 in the early 1980's.

    It did sell in 2007 at a Goldberg auction for $60,375 as PCGS Genuine. Quite a jump in asking price now. Some interesting history in the Goldberg description. I would have chopped it in half just to make sure it was all copper, though the kid was getting close.

    Yes, lots of people have an extra million to spend.

    Not me though, but if I did it wouldn't be on this stuff. :(

    A fair asking price seeing that the lot is not just the pinnacle, but the apex of the pinnacle.

    Let's see, a vacation home or homes for the family to enjoy, perhaps 5 or 6 amazing vintage cars that I could drive every day, or two error coins in damaged condition sitting in the SDB at the bank that one person in a thousand might appreciate? Tough call.

    I'd rather buy $1MM worth of amzn stock.

    On second thought $100K worth of clct stock, and $900K on amzn stock.

    I got several multiples of millions to spend. What's up for grabs?

    Is the item in the USA or Italy? If in the USA I wouldn't having to convert to Lire first. If in the USA, the money isn't looking as big, though.

  • BruceSBruceS Posts: 1,356 ✭✭✭✭✭

    If I owned those coins I definitely wouldn't list them together.
    There is like 800 + watchers, but I doubt too many are serious buyers.

    This seller does seem to price his offerings rather optimistically.

    Should his PNG logo give me confidence in the transaction?

    Million dollar asking price and can't even spring for half-decent images. Some dealers don't get marketing at all.

    As usual the bad photos are there for a reason. Did you look at the 1943 copper? The use of term "dog" for that piece would be an insult to canines. That poor coin has lost two or three knife fights.

    I know that the 1944 steel is the rarer coin, but still paying over $100 thousand for that coin would be a severe stretch, and in reality it would be a lot more. Here is a $1 million burial.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
