TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 10/08/2010 11:07 pm To be honest with you Adam, I think you should pull it and save it. Thad did a nice job on the conservation and whether some disapprove of doing that kind of work, others would agree it was the best course of action. Me being in favor of using the Verdi-care in this case. I could go and buy it and I think I know how to take my good old time and promote this coin and then list it and make a lot more than $175.00. This is why I said I might buy it. But I think that this is one of those cases where others might not buy it either. It's all fair game, but I do think you have a few family friends here that are trying their best to save you a regretful move. Whatever you think you can find at the FUN show will not excite you more than this coin did. The novelty will wear off on the new acquisitions yet this coin will shine in your coin collection as long as you keep it no matter what splotches of arrested corrosion lie upon it's surface. You should not sell this coin now. I decline because I can't be a good family member and take advantage of you. Trust us. Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 10/08/2010 11:13 pm well I think the novelty kind of wore off on this one. but I will pull from selling it at least for now. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 10/08/2010 11:22 pm You might consider taking it to the FUN show and spark up interest. You had some veteran collectors in here very interested and stumped. There are some deep pockets at the FUN show. Perhaps it would be a good day to be a vest pocket dealer. But keep an eye on it. You might do way better than $175.00 in trade value at least or you might find somebody might pull you off to the side and surprise you with an offer you can't refuse. Put it in an attractive container with a nice typewritten card that describes what Mike Diamond said on exactly how this occurred. It was just edited moments ago. Quote: The die cap through which this coin was struck experienced 4 or 5 shift-and-strike events before the final strike that created this coin. This coin was struck only once.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19964 Posts	Posted 10/09/2010 03:46 am I completely agree with Wheezydog. I'm surprized someone didn't immediately jump on that coin for $175. If you want to fund your coin purchases with it, take it to a show and see why kind of offers you get. However, since it is a very rare coin with no established value (that I know of), the first thing a dealer will ask is how much you want for it. You might want to check out the dealers inventory FIRST to see if he has a coin(s) of interest to you. It might be easier to work out a trade and you might get more bang for your buck too. Personally, I would try to get at least $300 for this coin.....to the right person on the right day, that is reasonable....just my opinion. You might be able to pick out $300-400 worth of coins and get a trade, you never know until you try. Another factor working in your favor is your age. You might just find a dealer that wants to help a young numismatist. There's some mighty nice guys out there. Be honesty, tell them what coins you need and it might work out. Now, just a warning, you will probably be told by some that it's worth like $20. They may talk the coin down saying it's corroded, etc.....so take the lowball values with a grain of salt. Remember, that is just another persons opinion and they may not know much about errors. There's plenty of ignorant dealers in the world., I've met quite a few. Hopefully, you won't run into many like that, but at a big show it's almost certain. Stick to what you know from the experts like Mike Diamond. Definately print out the post from him and bring that with you. Good Luck! Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19964 Posts	Posted 10/09/2010 1:36 pm Don't talk with any dealer that treats you poorly. You're a customer like any other and, if the dealer has a heart, they will take care of you for the sake of the future of the hobby. Lincoln Cent Lover!

Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 10/09/2010 2:11 pm All, about 90% of all, dealers will look at you like your an amatuer idiot when its usually the other way around. Just because their a dealer dont mean they know any more then you. Plus, your coins arent nearly worth as much as his coins are..lol They will always low ball you and sell really high. But thats the game I guess Report this Post to the Staff
