1861-C $5 PCGS VF30, OGH. The person from whom I bought this coin had listed it on eBay every so often for about 6 months, but did so with washed out pictures that made it difficult to tell what the quality of the coin really was. I finally decided to take a gamble and buy it. It turned out to be a very, very nice coin. The surfaces are pale with deeper honey overtones. IMO, it would grade VF35 or XF40 today. Low mintage of just 6,879, and a historically interesting piece as well. Heritage sold an NGC VF25 CAC in December, 2010 for $6,900, after the exact same coin sold in an NGC VF Details, Cleaned holder in one of their auctions just a couple months before.
$5,000 shipped.
Forgive my lousy pictures...

Getting warmer.
There is several more $5.00 dates I want to buy for myself. As most of you older members know I sold off all of my personal collection several years ago to give me the capital to open up a B & M, well now that business has been so good from all the gold /silver buying over the past couple years, I wanted to start accumulating scarcer date gold coins this time around instead silver/copper. Need to put all this excess cash somehwere, and I am not sold on long term Bullion only. I think the next year or two will be good, but after that I am not sold on it, as I believe money go will go back into real estate, the stock market, other investments, etc. I also think scarce , better collector investment graded coins will do well longterm.
