Bought this beauty on Thursday sold it on Saturday.

I can't recall owning a coin for a shorter period!

The coin looks better in person. I never fall in love with a coin if the price is right.

I don't see anything but red x's.

BigE · September 20, 2003 2:45PM

I don't see any pics either, but if I were you I would stop using those Crest whitening strips on your dog

ohbaby · September 20, 2003 3:06PM

Thanks! I finally get a "you suck", my first! But it should be "you sucked" as I no longer the coin.

Cam40 · September 20, 2003 3:11PM

Nice! Shortest I've ever owned a coin was 4 hours

Cam40 · September 20, 2003 3:22PM

it must be rough to be in that circumstance. having to sell your newly aquired gem and getting bullied
into selling, or have an arm broken or something. you eastcoasters have it rough i tell ya.

coinlieutenant · September 20, 2003 3:22PM

Too bad...
My icon coin was going to ask yours out on a date...

Bear · September 20, 2003 3:51PM

Ohbaby -That appears to be one lovely coin.

Had I seen it at the show, I certainly would have considered buying it.

Unlike your dicipline, I always seem to get emotionally involved with my

coins and have a very hard time selling them.

Baley · September 20, 2003 7:29PM

did you buy the coin to flip, or did you intend to keep it but received "an offer you couldn't refuse"?

I'm looking for one of those in AU58.

What Placid said.

(The second time.)

OhBaby

What else can I say but "Oh Baby!" Sharp details, nice color, abundant luster and very smooth surfaces. Real sweet!

I'm looking for a nice solid original in MS65. Your 64 looks very nice.

That is a wonderful coin, the shortest amount of time i've owned a coin is about 2 minutes. (81 type 2 SBA bought at a show walked across the isle and sold it.)

mgoodm3 · September 21, 2003 2:53AM

Nice coin, nice color. Oh well, someone else owns it now.

lava · September 21, 2003 3:28AM

I'd like to see that one up close.

ohbaby · September 21, 2003 6:06AM

Baley, I bought and always buy with the intention of "collecting" but when an opportunity to flip w/o effort on my part presented itself I went for it. I already own 2 such halves but this was the nicest and most expensive. The money earned will go towards better values. It was a dynamite coin which I sold for an inflated price [like most toned coins today]. Will look at getting a chain cent, MS early copper or original Flowing Hair $ next, this sale will allow me to buya little higher in the food chain.

coinlieutenant, how can my ex-coin go out on a date! We haven't even met! What kind of coins do you think I buy!

roadrunner, finding an original or original looking one in MS65 is near impossible. I have seen plenty of 65s and they almost all have problems. For the amount spend the better values are down under and you get some character with the coin.

lava, you can see the up close image by doing a cut and paste on images [now red x's] in the initial post. I suspect they are not showing up due to bandwidth limitations. If you PM me with your email I can send you the 1mg file, better have cable or T1 and a mailbox that can take big files.
