Nic Pillar of the Community Philippines 1156 Posts	Posted 10/20/2009 12:17 am I was at ebay looking for a coin when I saw this sell ads on the 1795 flowing hair dollar. Can the prices really reach this high for this coin? http://cgi.ebay.com/1795-1-BB-21-B-...61_W0QQitemZ 370240688789QQcategoryZ11976QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3907.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo=SIC&itu=UCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%252BDDSIC&otn=12&po=LVI&ps=54 http://cgi.ebay.com/1795-NGC-Flowin...ve_W0QQitemZ 110432894752QQcmdZViewItemQQssPageNameZRSS:B:SRCH:US:101 Report this Post to the Staff

Well, I would start with asking for factual history- Benjamin Franklin died in 1790 so he never saw any Federal coinage He must be referring to Ben's lesser known cousin, Mortimer Franklin Report this Post to the Staff
cownas22 Pillar of the Community United States 1055 Posts	Posted 10/20/2009 11:49 am It is possible that he could be talking about Mortimer......plus with the coin being mint state MS-61 apparently no one used this coin in a transaction, or at least they ware wearing gloves, maybe it was winter... I actually think he is trying to entice a potential buyer to drop $70,000 on his coin. Although it could be done with out the little hype blurb below the pic. This coin is so beautiful it could do all the talking for itself. Personally I would take a drive down to Florida to personally view the coin before making a purchase of this size. But his listing has served its purpose, now several people (just from this forum) have become aware of the coin he wants to sell as well as his business. If nothing else I got to drool over that beauty for couple minutes (sigh) after I win the lottery (which is my retirement plan by the way). I in fact have done business with Gary (Coin Gallery of Boca Raton) before, and was very impressed with their service and personability. P.S.(Can anyone tell I am killing time right now?)
