Blew all 2019 money on one coin.

ReadyFireAim · April 13, 2019 11:34PM

Yep...I have until December 2019 to pay it off until they start charging interest.
I can do it without too much trouble but I might loose a bit of weight
Here it is...

I'm now officially a spectator here. (no new coins for me this year)
Bank check in mail yesterday and estimated ship date of 18 Apr2019.

ifthevamzarockin · April 13, 2019 11:38PM

Very nice!

illini420 · April 13, 2019 11:44PM

Great looking coin! Congrats!

ReadyFireAim · April 13, 2019 11:46PM

It's still in Hansen's collections but I've been vulch'ing it since January.
Waiting for him to upgrade and put it up for sale.

Looks like a very clean example and the provenance is cool too. And it is certainly nice to have a little time to pay

ReadyFireAim · April 13, 2019 11:54PM

It's a 65 and way too low grade for his set.
It was a place holder for him.
I'm super excited about it

You got that right!
I'd hate to have to get rid of such a nice coin because it didn't grade high enough.
This one is a bit "Baggy" but has something very special about it.

Timbuk3 · April 14, 2019 1:23AM

I like it, congratulations !!!

ricko · April 14, 2019 4:41AM

Very nice gold Saint..... You will be happy with that.... Let us know when it is in hand and how it compares to the picture. Cheers, RickO

DCW · April 14, 2019 8:53AM

I like how the copper spot above the torch. Looks like a flame!
I've blown my coin budget for the year early on, many times before. If I were honest with myself I wouldnt be able to buy another coin until around until 2034.

I was wondering who would mention that 1st.
That's the reason I like it so much.
I've never seen anything like it.

Yea, that's just a perfect location to tone. Draws the eye right in! If it were in the fields, it would be a complete distraction.
Congrats on your new acquisition

BryceM · April 14, 2019 9:01AM

Gorgeous coin. Enjoy it.

Awesome coin. Congrats on following this and a successful pick up!

Seems like following Hansen may be a great way to build a collection!

I've been thinking of doing something similar, but not sure I can do it yet.

It took some dedication to check his set everyday.
I probably know some of his coins better than he does.
Here is the closest thing I can find so far as copper spotting goes around the torch (from Simpson again)

Swampboy · April 14, 2019 9:39AM

Gorgeous Saint @ReadyFireAim and what @DCW said.
That's the first think that struck me.
Miss Liberty's gonna light a fire under your.......

.....never mind.

SkyMan · April 14, 2019 9:43AM

Very nice.

Hemispherical · April 14, 2019 9:45AM

That is a fantastic new pick @ReadyFireAim! Agree about the “flame” it looks awesome!

Congrats! Love the flame!

ReadyFireAim · April 14, 2019 10:26AM

There is a rumor of a saint where liberty has dark brown hair in a field of gold & a pink dress.

I might be living under a bridge if I ever find it.

dennis1219 · April 14, 2019 10:55AM

Congratulations. A mans gotta do...

NewEnglandNotes · April 14, 2019 11:02AM

Copper spots on gold are an instant turn off for me. I have never seen a gold coin with a copper spot that I thought was attractive.................until now. This one actually looks like it belongs there, congrats on the pickup!

i am sure that is true.

he has to get them all so if someone asks "do you have ______" he can confidentially say yes.

ilmcoins · April 14, 2019 11:11AM

Excellent pick up!! Time to start planning for next year! Haha

Med adjustment and you might stop thinking about it

crazyhounddog · April 14, 2019 11:48AM

It’s a GORGEOUS piece my brother. VERY pretty with 2 thumbs up👍🏻👍🏻.

Downtown1974 · April 14, 2019 12:22PM

Magnificent pick up! Congrats!

johnny9434 · April 14, 2019 1:30PM

Nice score I like

asheland · April 14, 2019 1:36PM

dpoole · April 14, 2019 1:51PM

Wow. That's great!

Wil1858 · April 14, 2019 2:12PM

Sweet! Very nice piece.

divecchia · April 14, 2019 2:25PM

I'm usually turned off by copper spots on gold, but I can see the attraction to this one as it is well placed.

Congrats on your pickup. Donato

Walkerfan · April 14, 2019 3:43PM

Beautiful gem. I love the history behind it.

ms70 · April 14, 2019 4:00PM

That is a fabulous piece.

Nice coin!

ElmerFusterpuck · April 15, 2019 6:12AM

Looks like a luster bomb too! Saints look so much better with blazing luster, not a fan of dull ones, especially if they are 65's or 66's.

SliderGuy · April 15, 2019 9:02AM

Looks like one of those Game Of Thrones characters holding a torch in the cold castle. Very nice!!

thisistheshow · April 15, 2019 2:07PM

Amazing coin. Cool provenance. Felicidades!

PocketArt · April 15, 2019 2:35PM

Wow, nice! Blew all your money for 2019 on one coin??? I've thought that before but have always scrounged up more money for one, or, more that I had to have. Admire your taste, and discipline!

Catbert · April 15, 2019 2:39PM

Very noice! I'd like to own it too.

BTW - be careful not to "loose" weight or you might injure someone

ReadyFireAim · April 15, 2019 2:40PM

We shall see...
It looks like a 65-C from the TrueView & I'm not usually a fan of bottom grade coins, but for this one, I'll make an exception
Luster could bump it up to a high C & that would be great.
Plus...She has a nice face.
And who doesn't like a pretty face?

Whoops!...I need to watch about adding too many of these...oooo...or not enough

jmski52 · April 16, 2019 5:52AM

Very nice coin, and your set of Saints is very very impressive to this (uninitiated) observer.

To throw a little gasoline on the flame, it'll be fun to see what you do in 2020.

ReadyFireAim · April 25, 2019 11:39PM

UPDATE...

Dealer Fraud....
Got bitten again by snake dealer.
Received coin and not the one.

Feel sick...Trying to get my money back now.
I hate this hobby.
Maybe taking time off.
I hate all dealers...Screw coin collecting...Bunch of crooks.

BTW...No more $ from me.
Burn in hell A-Holes
