Post a picture of a coin that is not for sale at any price

Everything (and everyone) has its price, right? Post a picture of a coin that you would not sell no matter how much you were offered. Be realistic, for $1 M any coin in my collection is for sale. Let's say double Trends. I will post one later.

Regardless that I paid more than twice trends for it anyway, I wouldn't sell it.

Neither would I! That's a smokin' coin!

Nice coin

What's going on with the date?

mgoodm3,

Normally IHCs don't really float my boat, but that one is giving me wood. Nobody shoots these better than you and Shylock.

My first Dahlonega coin:

K6AZ · May 28, 2005 7:32AM

One of these days I need to pull this out and get new images of it. I've turned down over ten offers on this coin in the last several years.

ARCO · May 28, 2005 7:34AM

Sure, I would sell the coin at some high dollar price level, but not at double, triple or more trends. Besides, it is only a very common date and maybe a $65.00 coin. A couple of hundred dollars wouldn't get me all excited.

It was my first Barber half, first coin I paid for more than $10.00, and it was purchased from a local dealer in Salt Lake who passed away not too long ago.

Tyler, was that the dealer killed in a robbery?

ARCO · May 28, 2005 7:47AM

- Tyler, was that the dealer killed in a robbery? -

No, that was a Dealer in Southern Utah, in the St. George area. The dealer I knew lived in Salt Lake City.

That's right. And they caught the perp not long ago.

Baley · May 28, 2005 8:08AM

<------ I'd have to buy a prettier one, before I'd sell this coin for just about any price that is likely to be offered.

You should retitle your thread then. "double Trends" is not "any price".

I used to say I would never sell my 1955 DDO, but I finally did it last November.

No, thanks, I like it the way it is.

ldhair · May 28, 2005 9:24AM

I might trade it for a 17

KentuckyJ · May 28, 2005 10:27AM

Yes, everything has it's price. Double trends on this one? No, she and I are too good friends for that. 750K? No. 2.5mil... well, we could talk. LOL

KJ ---> loves original dirt!

Heres one:

Go back and review every old auction catalog you can find and let me know if you come across a comparable example. I'll wait here.

bigbadchad777 · May 28, 2005 12:14PM

Not for sale!

pharmer · May 28, 2005 12:43PM

I've sure had a lot of requests for my selling price on this since I started using it as my icon. If I could get a decent image, those might increase even more, but it's home for good.

oldcameoproofsguy · May 28, 2005 1:04PM

Double Trends... No way!!!

K6AZ · May 28, 2005 1:13PM

<< EVERYTHING and everybody has a price. >>

Not in my case. I wouldn't even consider selling the coin I posted, even for three times what I've been offered for it.

tradedollarnut · May 28, 2005 1:26PM

Really? Would you sell your child into slavery?

I respect you...but let's test the theory...$25 million is on the table. You tellin me you will walk out of the room with your gold? Sorry If I don't believe you if you say yes.

TDN:

Would you be someones slave?

(We are talkin coins in our collection here, not morals/ethics.)...but if it helps...I would sell your child into slavery.

tradedollarnut · May 28, 2005 2:18PM

It would be better to say 'most things' have a price. Absolutes have a way of biting back.

fountainheadgold · May 28, 2005 2:24PM

solid · May 28, 2005 2:57PM

I don't know what double trends would be on this, but am guessing that I paid
way over that. So, absolutely would not sell at double trends - that would just
be silly.

Ok, TDN, maybe if my kids were starving and this was the only thing I had left
to my name.

morgannut2 · May 28, 2005 3:21PM

Ethics, smethics!--Anyone who's bought a sailboat has sold their Son AND Themselves into slavery!! Not for sale? The seated Liberty $1 my grandfather gave me and is the first silver dollar in my collection. 1000X Trends doesn't buy it. Two times trends!!!--gee I wish I'd paid that low for my last 2 prooflike Morgans!!
