OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 07/27/2012 10:44 pm I look closely and notice that it's the rare large date medium letter. Nothing special in the listing. I put in a $90 snipe bid just in case someone else notices. All week it sits at something like $5 and then shoots over $20 this morning. Figure I'll still get a bargain.

Patience, patience, patience. As long as you realize that a piece in the same grade but without the pitting would probably be pushing around $1000. Most of these seem to come with problems and when you consider that there are only about 40 of these known in ANY condition sometimes you either have to take what you can get or do without.

OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 07/29/2012 11:00 am 40 known? That's going to take a lot of patience (or cash). Report this Post to the Staff
Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 07/29/2012 5:40 pm I'm not a "hole filler", coin wise that is, so yeah I would wait for a G, VG or F and if it cost 4x the one just sold, then so be it. To have one looking like that, one that just doesn't have honest wear, to say I have one, no I'll wait. I do acknowledge that 11 people think differently than I do. KK Report this Post to the Staff
