    << <i>Im only posting it here for those that dont frequent the bay...

    any extra details you can tell us of this one of a kind?

    1786 NJ copper M-18L >>



    Not one of a kind - rather the second known example of a coin which was formerly unique. This had been graded years ago and correctly attributed by ANACS, so it is a bit surprising that this example was not on anyone's RADAR screen.

    Pretty neat, and likely to go much higher.

    What is surprising to me is the condition of the coin: PCGS VF-35. The coin has very nice surfaces. Quite a few colonials with very few known are represented only by unattractive and/or corroded coins. Not the case with this one!

    I am astonished to see a coin like that on ebay. Did the owner not think it would do well at auction?
    Or was he concerned about getting paid quickly?

    I need a 200' trench dug on my property and feel the 3rd example may be buried there if anyone wants to dig imageimage

    It looks like one to me. Congratulations to the seller.

    I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

    Interesting that even at this level, the top two bidders placed their bids during the last minute of the auction!

    I counted five different bidders with bids over $50k, it looks like quite a few people wanted that coin very badly.
