In memory of 291fifth, name some valuable coins that are unsellable at any price

RYKRYK Posts: 35,799 ✭✭✭✭✭
Our brother 291fifth has left the Circle. I liked him personally and enjoyed his input. He provided a consistent negative perspective on the state of the hobby, and that void needs to be filled. In his memory, let's talk about some valuable coins (defined as valued over $100 ) that appear to be dead in the water. I was looking over at the BST and got some ideas which I will share later.

    I can think of a couple of folks who are well qualified for this position.


    Sean Reynolds
    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    I am well qualified and highly trained in negativity. I consider the devil's advocate to be
    a very important team member and will constantly slam any and all happy talk that I see.
    291fifth will be missed and his consistently hard grading standards will be filled with
    over exuberant guesses that make me cringe when i think of the price increase that
    goes along with such grading.

    The coin market goes in cycles and 291fifth understood that. His defiance to fit in with
    others make me proud to have him as a member here. Everyone here has a bit of
    291fifth in them. If not, they are on drugs.

    the coin that i think is unsellable at any price was recently posted here on this forum.
    ugly!!!
    Yours for a half million dollars and a flight to New York to pick it up is free.

    I additional to fc, more posting from "stman" could help fill the void as well.
