I'm not a huge fan of proof coins, but I wanted one of these for my collection. Headed over to ebay and cherrypicked this one for twenty bucks. Hard to get one cheaper than that as there are quite a few others who regularly hunt these on ebay. That big die gouge on the vest area makes them pretty easy to spot.
Well done Bats! I bid on that one too, but only up to $15. Was hoping to get lucky. At least now I know your ebay "star tag" and will try to avoid bidding against you. The same seller had a 1955 proof DDR ending around the same time that I passed on. I want he combo, lol!
Hey Jay, Yup, we're all fishing in the same pond so will run into each other now and again. I was going to stop at $16 myself but did want to put one of these in my collection so figured I'd go higher and hopefully get it done. Worked out. And I didn't know that the ebay star numbers carried over from one item to another.
