matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 06/28/2012 09:25 am Time for a few laughs, folks! http://www.ebay.com/itm/1857-Libert...em4845b84c63 Even if Abraham Lincoln had this in his pocket at Ford's Theater, I doubt that it would fetch the amount asked for. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1857-VF-SEA...em35bcf47db7 To be completely "fair," "traderz" such as these are consistent: problem coins at consistently inflated grades and prices. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1857-Seated...em27bc94aa79 Now this is in my price range! But just a tad too much wear. --- So, when I saw this one I could not leave it behind. $64 was all I had on me and Vinny had asked for $65. He let me have it for $64. He didn't want a dollar's worth of pocket change! Sometimes, you just have to bow down to the absurd. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 06/28/2012 9:06 pm Thank you for the humorous interlude - I needed one tonight. And to cap it with a solid high-VF of the same year, with a perfect patina, for $64? Um, yeah. Fruit: Just make sure she gets a couple of stitches for that hole in her elbow.

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 06/29/2012 1:20 pm Oh, Dave, Miss Liberty donated blood to the Union Army during the Civil War. She wears it as a badge of pride. When coin collecting becomes too much of a worry, or when life's troubles cause us angina, a little humor goes a long way. Thanks for understanding my poor attempt to make life a bit brighter. Matthew Report this Post to the Staff
