 I was just going to ask that?! Auction: 380877520131For a couple minutes, I was winning...and then it went over $500.  I only bid because the grade was just good enough to see the doubled liberty. My top bid was $287. But, $587 for a mid-grade raw IHC? I just couldn't go there. |

I wanted it bad and I graded it at F12 with a light cleaning. I went for it. I've been following it from the moment he posted it.

Oh ok--I just figured out you were the top bidder--no offense intended. I was bummed I didn't win lol
I was just surprised at how high it got--but like I said, I just couldn't do it.
But I know this variety has huge demand--I was unprepared at how high it went, raw and all.

I have been watching that coin just out of curiosity to see how high it would go. I wasn't going to bid on it, and if I did I wouldn't have gone that high. Quite a substantial premium. DV and Raymo- sorry one of you didn't get it
Congratulations Raymo-when I posted I didn't know you won it. One graded F-15 was recently sold on Heritage for $940, so I believe you did pretty good.

I priced a problem free F12 at $1125 and I was hoping to get it at half to 3/4 of that so I'm stoked to have gotten it. I knew it was gonna go big with that much of Liberty showing along with all the other indicators. I figured there was 3 or 4 of us here bidding.

Yeah I wish that one guy hadn't shown up lol. I told Keith at Pinetree that he was gonna get shocked in a bit. After the smoke had cleared he figured it out. I got a nice 1902 S4 from him also.

Congrats!  You got a good deal Raymo...I thought the value was easily $750. But I'm just cheap--hoping I'll get a real deal. From the looks of it, it's just not gonna happen with this variety on ebay. |

It's gonna have to be an obscure listing. This one was just too obvious to slip through the cracks.

Yeah, probably a fuzzy picture that I take a chance on...would be my best bet. Course, I recently picked up a nice 1887 DDO in VF/EF for $10.  |

I haven't found one yet but I'm trying. Most pics just aren't good enough to be able to spot em.
