hemisboats Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 01/08/2010 3:44 pm look at this coin and tell me what you think. On the reverse shield there is some type of food or something that has got mashed into the slots. I am looking for advice on the best way to correct this debacle? Also, it's a new coin in our collection! Report this Post to the Staff

hemisboats Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 01/09/2010 2:48 pm You're not hijacking at all, that is a very nice coin indeed! If you don't mind, what did you have to give for that beauty? Report this Post to the Staff
Brewzz Valued Member United States 199 Posts	Posted 01/09/2010 6:14 pm That's a funny(kinda) story.I was on e-bay the other nite,watching this coin.I was going to bid $475 max bid.But I wasn't paying attention,and hit $575 instead.When it went over my max,and I still was high bidder,I realized my mistake.So,that's what I paid for it,it went for my max.......

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 01/10/2010 11:54 am Nice coin Brewzz. I got a great deal on mine several months ago. It's not as strong as yours, but at $175 I made off like a bandit. The surfaces are original IMO, and a lot of luster remains. Report this Post to the Staff
hemisboats Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 01/10/2010 1:34 pm that has got to be the best deal I have seen in a while! That is a downright gorgeous coin. And, the price is quite disgraceful. I hope you want the church and said a few prayers when you got it home. I paid just over $125 for mine. Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 01/10/2010 9:23 pm Thanks! Yeah, a lot of good deals can be had on ebay, though it always presents a risk. I didn't know the coin looked that good until it was in my hands. Report this Post to the Staff
