You should have "none of the above"

crypto79 · August 30, 2011 11:09AM

I vote the only classic on the list the 1862

LindeDad · August 30, 2011 11:11AM

I liked the look of that Walker.

TexasNationals · August 30, 2011 11:17AM

mudskippie that takes all the fun out of it!

Elcontador · August 30, 2011 11:28AM

Take your wife or significant other out for a night on the town.

TexasNationals · August 30, 2011 11:30AM

I don't like my wife that much!

I am surprised 19, 15 and 10 haven't gotten more votes?

OldEastside · August 30, 2011 11:48AM

<< I vote the only classic on the list the 1862 >>

I gotta agree

I saw this over on the BST, of course, but I like how you've added the poll. It's a new twist on the old "PayPal challenge".

I wish I had had something more specific to offer, but all of my current BST stuff is "Bargain Bin" material under a hundred bucks. (A pricerange I'm likely to stay in for a while.) Which is not to say I don't have some cool stuff to offer, but for a $155.22 PayPal Challenge, or any PayPal challenge, really, the best contenders are usually single coin lots or pairs.

<< One of Lord M.'s BST coins >>

You could have much more than just ONE of mine for $155.22. Even if one of them was that NGC AU58 1899 Barber dime with the nice peripheral toning.

On the face of it, though, I must admit, a slabbed MS CuNi IHC is probably the most tempting offer on the table here, were I in your shoes. Did robkool ever post pictures of it?

pcgs69 · August 30, 2011 12:13PM

crap, meant to put #4 but voted for 3 instead...

coindeuce · August 30, 2011 12:47PM

I'm campaigning hard on this one, just like a good(?) politician.

MsMorrisine · August 30, 2011 12:59PM

Process of elimination on this one

#6) While I'm into moderns this one is pricey and how could you have missed one at issue price? wait for your price on it and check out another item.

MsMorrisine · August 30, 2011 1:01PM

#10) I think I'd pass on an item with dups

ModCrewman · August 30, 2011 1:19PM

Ooooo...a tie between #4 & #15 at closing time...Does TexasNational get the deciding vote (or I suppose he voted already), or does he re-allocate the misplaced vote of PCGS69 and make #4 the winner...oh the suspense!!!

MsMorrisine · August 30, 2011 1:20PM

#4 is intriguing.

wondercoin · August 30, 2011 1:20PM

I just selected #15 because Coindeuce asked me to

I was split between 4 and 15 but I picked 4.

If I went with none of the above maybe I'd try getting 5 silver dollars if deal came up for around $31 each.
Probably can't squeeze the shipping in so that would need to be a local deal, move from paypal to account and buy locally.

ModCrewman · August 30, 2011 1:30PM

<< I went with #15! >>

Heck...I had a dog in this fight (#7) and I voted for #15!

oakcoin · August 30, 2011 1:31PM

I would take #4

AUandAG · August 30, 2011 1:31PM

I had a gun to my head.....I was coerced.....it's not my fault!!!

Is it in eastern time or pacific? (or midwest)?

wondercoin · August 30, 2011 1:46PM

P.S. If #15 wins due to my vote (i.e. wins by exactly 1 vote in the poll), I will also throw a coin in for free (entirely my choice of what it is) to try to make sure that the OP did indeed get the best "bang" for his buck with #15! I have not studied the other selections very carefully, but I do believe that Coinduece is a straight up and fair trader (as I am sure most of the other sellers offering deals are as well).

Broadstruck · August 30, 2011 1:48PM

<< 4) 1862 CN Indian cent PCGS MS62- EX-Charmy >>

Is that the first official PCGS negative graded example

mkman123 · August 30, 2011 1:51PM

hmmmm what should I vote for? tough choice

morgandollar1878 · August 30, 2011 1:57PM

I would go for the 1862 Indian Cent from Charmy.

TexasNationals · August 30, 2011 2:22PM

Looks like #15 pulled it out in the last minutes! Thank you everyone for responding and especially to everyone that offered the coins for sale! #15 you know who you are, please pm me your paypal addy! This was fun and we will do it again shortly. TN

Elcontador · August 30, 2011 4:25PM

I'd tell you to save up some more money and buy something else. I'm not a modern guy, and do not feel MS 62 is an investment grade for a classic coin. Most, but not all MS 62 coins I've seen are imo, "market acceptable" flashy AU coins.

Feed the kitty until you could buy something like a no-brainer MS 67 38 D Nickel or MS 66 Walker. These are attractive, desirable coins which won't go out of style anytime soon.

Myqqy · August 30, 2011 6:09PM

<< I don't like my wife that much! >>

Aye caramba- i was also going to suggest a nice dinner for the mrs... I hope you was only joking!

keyman64 · August 30, 2011 7:56PM

I would save a bit and wait for another opportunity. Or you can look through my BST list.

coindeuce · August 30, 2011 11:09PM

Wow. Tough crowd this morning. I'm even giving TexasNationals a return privilege. I'm curious: did any of the naysayers offer anything that they think is a better choice?
