Congrats again and thanks for the info on these. Definitely a nice looking set! I was away from being a serious coin collector for too long I guess and missed seeing a lot of these special issues.
Congrats also on the lineman job! Although never a lineman, I have a nice set of gaffs that I used in the past. I also have many friends who are linemen/former linemen since a lot of them collect glass insulators (look in my signature block). I am not sure of the connection, but a lot of these friends are also coin collectors.
As to toning, I do not collect toned coins. I can sometimes appreciate the look of them, but still prefer the original luster most of the time.

I don't think anyone is hacking the ebay system. My guess is that someone bid $163.00 as their max bid. Normally the next increment would be $164.00. Since no one bid that amount or higher, when the auction ends ebay takes the highest bid above $163.00 that was already in the system. That would be your $163.99 bid. This is why I'll usually make my max bid an odd amount like $50.10 instead of just $50. |

A good price, I think. I bought the set last year, but I paid more than that, and I sill really like it. Congrats, I say!

Saruma thanks for the info, I use to bid odd amounts as well, but I missed out on a few good lots. If my Bid is 10.27 I've had people beat me with 10.55. Thats why I switched to the .99. But I got ya,
Wholy ship on the floating sea, Boot camp kicked my butt. I'm feeling muscle's I never knew I had. God I pray I'm able to pass the test. Its on the 16th but were only training on weekends.
Earle42 I hear ya, I started collecting about 3 years ago, So I've missed a bunch as well. Toning isn't that high on my want list as well. I prefer the so fresh and so clean look. Well not clean lol I'm going to have to ask if anyone collects. Would be funny if half of them raise their hands. I think I'm gonna have to put coins all over the place so at least I can get a small work out. I'm actually shopping for gaffs now. Have to pick up a set so I can train during the week. Thanks again everyone. TO tired to post pics. I'll try for tomorrow.

Looks like a couple of very nice looking coins to me.
I don't think what you paid was to bad, these are getting harder to buy
at a cheap price

Thanks. I must of opened and closed this thing a hundred times already. It came wrapped in tissue paper. Which I wore a hole in lol. I've got to break open this folder thing, to get the Jefferson out. Any recommendations on the best way to pop out the coins while preserving the folder?
