Will you take this in trade for a 1893s Morgan? NEW COIN POSTED! coin to be auctioned for charity!

AnkurJ · April 12, 2009 9:40AM

I am sure that many people here have heard the story about the house that was traded for a red paper clip. If not, you can take a look here:

Paper clip trade

I thought I would do something similar to this. What I currently have for trade is a 2009 Log cabin reverse Lincoln cent. I want to trade up as many times as I can, until I reach a 1893-s Morgan Dollar in at least G4. When a new item is traded, it will be posted here until another offer is accepted.

Rules are:
Trade item can only be a coin or currency related item.
The item you want to trade would be sent to me, and upon approval, the trade item will be sent to you.
If you promise to trade an item, deliver.
You may post offers here or PM me.
And that's about it!

THE COIN WILL BE AUCTIONED ON EBAY WITH PROCEEDS GOING TO THE AMERICAN DIABETES FOUNDATION.
In the event that I am unable to reach a 1893-s, then whatever coin that is currently available will be sold for charity.

First on the trading block: SEE THE LAST PAGE FOR THE CURRENT COINS UP FOR TRADE!

2009 Penny had been traded!
1942 UNC Merc Dime. TRADED!

AnkurJ · April 12, 2009 11:08AM

BST it.

crypto79 · April 13, 2009 6:50AM

I will trade you a 1994 nickel in EF 40 but you have to pay the shipping both ways.

rld14 · April 13, 2009 6:52AM

How about a Maserati Quattroporte?

crypto79 · April 13, 2009 6:57AM

<< How about a Maserati Quattroporte? >>

I will trade my nickel for you Maserati Quattroporte as well. It really comes down to who can get me the goods first.

rgCoinGuy · April 13, 2009 7:02AM

I think you should have started out closer to the original. Therefore I propose a trade for this:

droopyd · April 13, 2009 7:20AM

I'll trade you two -- no, make that three -- 2009-D Lincoln cents.

Edited to add: Hey, gotta start small -- you ain't gettin' a Masarati right out of the gate!

AnkurJ · April 13, 2009 8:21AM

Wow such generous offers so far!

Well,

Call SGS, get it in a slab, and we'll talk.

AnkurJ · April 13, 2009 12:16PM

Anyone with an offer? If nothing by tomorrow, will change the coin offerred.

RaginsteveK · April 13, 2009 12:19PM

I'd RENT a common date Morgan MS64 for a HANDFUL of those.

Sunnywood · April 13, 2009 12:25PM

Umm, you'd need to have about 100,000,000 of those to pry my Eliasberg '93-S loose !!!

ColonialCoinUnion · April 13, 2009 12:33PM

<< Umm, you'd need to have about 100,000,000 of those to pry my Eliasberg '93-S loose !!!

That's what the owner of that house thought at first in the "Red Paper-Clip Story", but before you know it the deal was done.

You should keep the '09 Linc. picture in the OP so we can see each step in your quest for a '93-S.

AnkurJ · April 13, 2009 10:28PM

Will do!

<< The Penny had been traded! The new con is a 1942 UNC Merc Dime. >>

"Con" is right -- part of the deal on this "paperclip" thingy is that the trades are not supposed to be lopsided so as to imply charity on the part of one participant.

And based in your 7070, you hardly need charity.

I mean, you can do it however you want, but it's against the spirit of the exercise.

I think the 'con' word kind of fits the situation, why cry to a mod about it?

If anything you need to do a spell check before you hit the little submit button in the lower left corner..

now on with your little game..

Agreed -- to make this work several parties have to be willing to give the OP more than fair value in trade -- which, in essence amounts to passing around a collection plate for a non-charitable purpose.

Relax guys, I think Ankur's just looking to have a little bit of fun.

Besides, the Quattroporte is a Matchbox one

Trying in earnest to start with a 2009 cent and end up with a $1500 coin is "not just a bit of fun". It is actually a SCAM to take advantage of our members through poor trades disguised as some sort of "fun project". If he were to donate the final coin to a charity organization, then thats different. But he makes no mention of anything like that.

That would have been a worthy project , auction the final coin off and proceeds to a recoqnised charity.

Hey ! I'm still trying to trade one of my Kidney's (got 2, but only need 1) for a MS-63 Pan-Pac $50... but noone has made me a counter offer

Good Luck on the 93S Morgan

drei3ree · April 14, 2009 5:48AM

Didn't the house come with $100,000 in back taxes?

droopyd · April 14, 2009 5:59AM

It's in Bumblef--- Saskatchewan, I'm sure the house isn't even worth $100k Canadian.

I will gladly do that trade. But I want to be the one who cuts out the Kindney and I get to keep the coin if by some horrible means the lord desides that you die on the table that day. But lets keep our fingers crossed it doesn't come to that.

AnkurJ · April 14, 2009 9:42AM

And yet all of this comes from the guy who whined when everyone was ragging on his overgraded half dollar.

The trades will continue, and I really dont give a sh*t what people say.

illini420 · April 15, 2009 12:28PM

I thought this was cool before a charity was involved... those that didn't like it could have just moved along instead of whining about it... but now that it's for charity this should go really quick

Can't wait to see what sort of trades are made, good luck!

Musky1011 · April 20, 2009 7:06AM
