    I'm sorry to have to say this but that coin is just ugly. Negative eye appeal - look away, look away...

    I wouldn't buy it, but I don't think it's necessarily ugly.

    ....to be fair to the seller, it is a no reserve auction and it's only just over $100...

    This same seller also does a lot of this "RARE=$$$$$$$$$$$$$$" with PCI graded garbage SMS Kennedy Halves. He regularly makes a tidy profit off the uninformed.

    Russ hits it on the head: if you know "what" you are buying and pay a low price, all's well. If you are sucked in by a worthless holder and the $$$$$ hype, you are hosed....a newbie, in particular, could be hurt badly.image

    For $111, the current bid, I'd take the risk. For $200, no way. Let's see how high it makes it.

    oh sure, I hear this gang NOW...... then they slip and buy the darn thing and do a crack out. Some may never send it to a grading company and let it meet a bottle of silver dip and use it as a wicked "lucky coin." Oh now don't tell me that it has not crossed your mind. I just KNOW everyone here is ANGELS. Everyone reading this knows that right now the coin has a bull market and if it is for sale it will find a buyer. Oh yeah, that thing will be GONE. But that thing is truly ugly. I love being around all of you.
