thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 09/15/2019 7:22 pm He has a different safe TimNH. The 200 year old safe guy also has a 1795 dollar. His coin looks like it might be real, but not real enough to risk bidding on. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1795-Flowi...AOSwAfhdfHG9 "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 09/15/2019 8:06 pm A few legitimate B&M shops come to mind when I read about these ebay safes. One is long gone Alpine Coin in Portland, which had three ring binders full of French coins. But two of them are still around, and worth a visit. Falcone Coin in San Jose, and Paul Bosco in New York City. You never know what they'll dig out. Always pot luck. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 09/18/2019 3:11 pm The original 200 year old safe guy, thedockter, has his 1795 flowing hair dollar trading above $1300 right now. I'm also watching an 1871-cc half eagle that came out of the safe, which is now nearing $2000. His feedback is pretty good, but there are some pretty nasty comments in the negatives and neutrals about substitutions, bent coins and extreme overgrading. It looks like the 200 year old safe is a gimmick to perk up the bidding action on no-minimum auctions....similar to the rolls and jars....
