Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 12:19 pm I already attributed this coin. I'll let other people have the fun this time around and see if it's the same as what I think it is. This is the seller's photo. Also, I think this coin has a rare reverse. I've seen them priced as high as $145, for a coin in near similar condition. I paid $29 including registered shipping. Don't want to take any chances losing this coin. I wonder what you guys think of the price I paid for it. He wanted $39 for it. I offered $23 for it and he accepted. The seller I mentioned in another post refunded my money and I decided to give the guy another chance even after losing two packages of coins. I'm sure it's not his fault but if this one doesn't arrive I just can't purchase from this seller again if he won't take additional steps to make sure the coin(s) arrive. Not to mention it's costly for both of us. Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 12:42 pm That's a wonderful reverse on this coin and the price is outstanding (I might even call it JW-ish ). I hope this time it arrives without problem. Third time is the charm so they say. Report this Post to the Staff
