I thought that this coin was being "auctioned" to benefit the American Heart Association?

First the thread

And now this auction

This should be interesting...

Where's that popcorn icon when I need it?

I sent My3cents a PM and a link to this thread so that he can reply.

It looks like he pulled the auction because of the controversy over it.

<< It looks like he pulled the auction because of the controversy over it. >>

Robert, he had said this about the Indian Cent, though:

<< I will follow thru with the IHC but other than that the auction is off. >>

Edited to add: In his defense, perhaps the bidders on the Indian Cent backed out. In their defense, perhaps they didn't back out.

In my defense, for the sake of fairness, I prefer that both sides of a story be heard.

What he was doing here did not work. This coin was his personal coin so I suppose he can do what he wants with it. The grade put up in the Ebay Auction is very optimistic though.

Unless, of course, it pertains to unique markers on a coin.

After the amount of controversy generated by the AHA auction - I decided to forget about it.

If the high bidder on the coin here on the forum wants it, they can just PM me and let me know. I will, of course, honor any previous commitments. I'll take down the bay auction and forward the funds to the AHA.

The guy tries to help a charity and get's a boat load of grief for his efforts.Grade of a coin should not matter when a coin is auctioned for charity your bid is basicly a donation isn't it?Why rag on someone for trying to do a good deed?

<< Grade of a coin should not matter when a coin is auctioned for charity your bid is basicly a donation isn't it? >>

Sorry, but that doesn't excuse what looks to some here, like over-grading. A potential donor should be entitled to make a donation and still receive an item as described.

<< The guy tries to help a charity and get's a boat load of grief for his efforts >>

He also received some very good/fair feedback, which he did not handle in a manner that was likely to help the charity.

It appears that someone donated additional coins to the auction. See the Feb 11th post at 4:40 PM.

What is the disposition of those coins?

I've been wondering the exact same thing...

I thought that this coin was being "auctioned" to benefit the American Heart Association?
