TorinoCobra71 · December 4, 2005 8:57AM

TorinoCobra71

questor54 · December 4, 2005 9:01AM

Hope to buy two tonight - my last of the year.

Both modern crap.

Coxe · December 4, 2005 9:02AM

Plan on some on Teletrade. Scratched both of the lots I was considering at Heritage off of my list. One ho-hummer on eBay I think I'll pass on.

my3cents · December 4, 2005 9:03AM

probably 2 to 4 tonight

TommyType · December 4, 2005 9:06AM

I'm laying low.....I just learned of this "Christmas" thing where you're required to buy presents for family and friends. Dang coin budget is gone.

mercurynut · December 4, 2005 9:08AM

Nope not me tonight.

Coxe · December 4, 2005 9:08AM

TT, buy them all coins!

OKbustchaser · December 4, 2005 9:49AM

Spent everything I had left last week at Stack's and then from James at EarlyUS so not even looking at anything else the rest of the year.

Lahcoin · December 4, 2005 10:08AM

only window shopping for me... and probably for the next couple of months...I'm so financially strapped right now

DickyBetz · December 4, 2005 10:43AM

I did.

Fairlaneman · December 4, 2005 10:46AM

One caught with three more within reach.

The buying spree continues.....

Ken

DennisH · December 4, 2005 10:49AM

Just bought a nice VF35 1900-O VAM 29A die break date Morgan that will be an upgrade for me if I can cross it from the NGC holder.

Hopefully I'll find an AU one of these days.

marmac · December 4, 2005 10:52AM

just got one

lathmach · December 4, 2005 10:52AM

There's a Seated Quarter on Ebay I'm gonna bid on, but probably not tonight. The auction has a while to go.

Ray

nwcs · December 4, 2005 10:54AM

Well, I did put in for 2 items with heritage this evening but (as always) sale could be vacated by a previous buyer.

questor54 · December 4, 2005 10:55AM

One down, one to go.

Got an NGC68CAM AH from Russ.

Coxe · December 4, 2005 11:02AM

I was teetering on the 34-S Peace dollar (PCGS MS65) at Heritage. But I have a lot of other material I am following and that gives me 6000 more bucks for the FUN bourse.

DNADave · December 4, 2005 11:02AM

Nope,

Sold a few,
Listed a few.

Peaceman · December 4, 2005 11:26AM

I could have bought a few VAM's.... but I tend not to buy them if they are not in the top 50 or very high end.... If someone wants a top 50 Peace $ VAM in MS just IM me and I'll point you to one or two ending tonight....

LastExitInNY · December 4, 2005 12:56PM

won a 1923 Peace

markglicker · December 4, 2005 12:58PM

Picked up an 1881-CC Morgan PCGS MS 62 DMPL for $500 on Ebay.

Heywood · December 4, 2005 1:02PM

I tried.. got sniped but wasn't realley in love with any of them

BlindedByEgo · December 4, 2005 1:03PM

I might, if Dennis gets back to me...

mgoodm3 · December 4, 2005 1:10PM

just selling.

astrorat · December 4, 2005 1:22PM

Just bought a set of six CompuGrade Morgans . . . gotta love those oddball slabs. That will nearly or possibly complete my MS-63.X set (all 10 grades from MS-63.0 to MS-63.9 with a few duplicates).

Lane

Fairlaneman · December 4, 2005 1:23PM

And the final score is....2 won and 3 lost. Was not aggressive at all.

Ken

Coxe · December 4, 2005 1:43PM

Got two 1883 VAM-10 Morgans (NGC 63DPL and ANACS AU), an 1888 VAM-12 or 12A (PCGS 63), an 1882-O PCGS 64 (clashed and will VAM later), a 1926 VAM-2 (ANACS 64) that I bet is misattributed but what the heck. Also caught an 1883-O VAM-4 (ANACS 63) on eBay as a trading piece and a convenient one to use the $5 coupon on.

badgrdog · December 4, 2005 2:09PM

Not yet tonight, but I do have some coins for sell on Ebay.

Colorfulcoins · December 4, 2005 2:12PM

50 of them...........................an OBW roll of Rosy's!

jayboxx · December 4, 2005 2:14PM

Bid on 4, won 2

Bear · December 4, 2005 3:18PM

I bought two coins today on the internet

from Jeremy Katz (Airplanenut).

MrXray · December 4, 2005 3:26PM

I bought 4 from LucyBop today, plus a couple others on e-bay, and 3 on Teletrade. Lost several others...

BBN · December 4, 2005 3:40PM

Nope. Saving up to buy a Saint.

WaterSport · December 4, 2005 8:54PM

Looks I did win! (sunday night).

1922 D 63 RED!

ad4400 · December 4, 2005 10:18PM

I bid on my first Teletrade auction last night and ended up with an 1868 Nickel in a PCGS 64 holder. I must admit it was exciting but a bit anticlimatic. I put in my bid at 8PM and won without any further bids. Which leads me to all kinds of 2nd guessing. Did others not bid b/c the coin was undesriable despite the holder (not my series, filling a hole in my type collection). Did others not bid b/c they were after the really high end stuff? Are the price guides really that far out of whack that the apparent bargin isn't so much of a bargin (subject of recent post - I realize). Or does some of the cheaper stuff get overlooked on Teletrade, making it the ideal forum for someone of my collecting budget/interest.

FullStrike · December 4, 2005 10:36PM

Ordered over $2 k worth of US Mint product last night.

Won't have to worry about overgraded slabs with this stuff.

I'll have 30 days to return, if I change my mind.

If I end up selling the stuff, I'll probably make money.

This is whats known as Win, wiN, WIN.

ibzman350 · December 4, 2005 10:41PM

Been trying...........keep getting outbid..

What ??? It's Christmans again.........didn't we just have one of those last year?

Herb

carl · December 4, 2005 11:00PM

Never have and never will I don't think so anyway. We have about a coin show a week around here. Numerous stores and shops that deal with coins and at one flea market there are at least 6 coin dealers. With all that compition, very reasonable prices. On the net you really don't know what your getting. I want to see the thing in my hands before I buy.

halfnut · December 4, 2005 11:23PM

After paying for my retirment party and everything else involved with that and now being unenployed I have been banned from the internet

I believe that Christmas thing is coming up soon also so guess I will just lay low for now. But my better half forgot about Baltamore next week so maybe I will break into my secret stash and buy myself a Christmas present

Coxe · December 5, 2005 12:16AM

ad4400, I wouldn't have second thoughts on that. I often see lots go up to the bid before the usual recent price on Teletrade a few hours before the close and sit until the end. You are probably good up to the last bid increment anyway. Yeah, there are shills here and there probably, but I think your price was good for that coin.

I'd suggest examining the date for repunching. There are quite a few rare varieties for that date. I collected them myself about 15 years ago but consigned them to Heritage for the FUN sales. Probably would have done better myself on eBay with them and my other varieties since they are not apparently describing their rarities and promoting the pop 1 coins like I would. I certainly will think harder before I consign my silver dollars some day.

steelie · December 5, 2005 1:24AM

Finally won an 1889CC Morgan, in a PCGS F12 holder..nice coin filling a long empty hole in my CC collection. Have only the 79CCs and the 92CC to complete my CC dollar set........yahoo!!!..even got to use the ebay coupons

How many of you have bought/will buy at least ONE coin on the Internet tonight?
