I believe had I seen one this nice at a coin shop I would have spent 10.50 pretty quickly. Full rims, and despite the poor lighting in the pic, there might even be some luster left on it. |

 you probably overpaid. However sometimes you see something you want and you just get it. I'm sure most of us have done that. |

I like it, I think it was a very fair and good price if not a slight bargain. Good eye! Certainly a very nice circulated example. I bet you love it and rightly so. I predict you'll always keep it even after you upgrade. I would. |

I don't know if he overpaid. there were 12 different bidders which is a pretty popular auction for a coin.
If he wants to, he should be able to turn around and resell it without for just about what he paid for it.
Those 12 bidders will rebid, and they may bid a little higher the second time in order to win the coin.

Yeah like I said before I am happy with it. Going in the jefferson spot of my dansco 7070. Didn't want to spend a lot for a high ms example, so I'm glad I got one with good detail for less than $11.

I think you did good.
Last year I was putting together a BU/proof set of Jefferson's.
The 39 D was the last one I needed. I bid on quite a few before
I won one. The problem free examples always seem to get a lot
of bidding action.
As others said .. you could always sell it for what you paid
or more. But I am with Wheezydog .. even if I upgraded I would
keep it

I like it, and I always tend to overpay for the small value coins that I just NEED to fill. I justify it as the 2 or so dollars I overpay on it is easily worth the satisfaction of seeing it done.

Good looking coin for under $10, particularly the key date. In MS, these are expensive. Sniping is the only way to go on the Bay, there's practically no point in putting out a bid more than 24 hours out, especially on popularly collected coins.

Thats at least VF, if not EF. VF lists at 10, so yes you got it for a good price. I will say this again, get a subscription to Coin World on line and you can access coin values on line and immediately check values so you have an idea before you place the first bid. |

i use numismedia.com and it seems to work enough for me. and yeah I figured it was worth at least $10. I would have paid $15 personally because I like it so much.
