tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 11/07/2015 9:58 pm I will take all of your 1979 p wide rum s.b.a's and your type 2 79 and 81 proofs. I'll pay you a dollar. That sounds like a good deal to me . That's like asking do people really pay more than a penny for a penny? Really? Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188213 Posts	Posted 11/08/2015 12:53 am I would pay more than one dollar for just about any Eisenhower dollar I buy. This is not to say I am buying every Eisenhower dollar I see.

thelionwarrior Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 11/08/2015 10:28 am Well I guess I have a better understanding of pennies than I do these. I mean they are nice coins but I just couldn't justify the prices like I seen when researching how much these may have cost from the company who sells these sets. Seems crazy to me. I got a killer deal on the Morgan's and Peace dollars as well. Lol. Got them for $12 a piece... would have paid more if I needed to... but that's a totally different subject. ;) Report this Post to the Staff

If I'm not mistaken those coins may have been a part of this subscription plan http://www.bradfordexchange.com/pro...thony&N=8125 Each coin cost $44.95 + $5 shipping I don't understand how the Bradford Exchange can get away with calling every dollar coin a silver dollar. SBA dollars have no silver in them yet they call the 1999 SBA a silver dollar Report this Post to the Staff
jack316 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 11/09/2015 9:07 pm To the OP - I recognize the holders. The original buyer paid between $35 - $125 for each coin, and they were purchased through "Complete US Dollars Collection" subscription purchases through The Bradford Mint. In my opinion, this company preys on new collectors, or older folks who remember the "glory days" of US coinage. They sell outrageously over priced, over graded (by the company) coin programs. They sell G/VG common date Morgans in a similar program for $150 each (sent every other month, payment of $75 per month). They have other programs for cents, dimes, quarters, and halves. Congratulations are your very good fortune. It's a sad footnote that your new coins came at the expense of someone who was taken advantage of. The fact that you bought them at face value suggests that the original buyer didn't even want them around as reminders that he/she had been so sadly cheated. Spurious sellers are nothing new. We've all seen it in just about every area of human endeavor. I think it just bothers me more when it's done within the numismatic hobby, where we've made such strides toward honesty and decency with the efforts of the ANA, Third Party Graders, etc.Jack Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 11/10/2015 9:48 pm tweak If you really need a 1999 SBA, try posting a want list. I know there is one on my desk, still sitting in the cello, not sure if it is P or D. Report this Post to the Staff
