What do you guys think about this 1909-O Indian Half Eagle http://www.ebay.com/itm/40023873311....m1423.l2649The detail looks better than XF/AU to me, and the surfaces look halfway decent with a few marks. Looking at Heritage results, it seems like a pretty decent price if I could get him to come down a tad. thoughts? |

Nice looking coin John! I would say AU50-53 for sure. Where is the surface damage? Is PCGS starting to list the problem? My 09-S VDB just states, GENUINE.
If you can talk him down a little, you have one heck of a deal IMO ;-)

So...lots has happened since I last posted. The FE I wanted was sold to another person before I had a chance to make a down payment. There is another one I am considering, but it is a proof, so I'm a bit more hesitant. I did make an offer on this High Relief Saint Gaudens! This is another wish list coin, and an important part of expanding my gold type set. Item 230658819501. |

Unfortunately not. Between long work days, church obligations, and my wife and I's anniversary; I just can't fit it in this weekend. It makes me really sad, but next time for sure! Are you going to be there?

I got a cold. =( I stopped in briefly yesterday and am thinking about going today, but mostly I just need to kick this cold so I can get back to work! I missed Dave yesterday. =(
Oh, and that's not a bad '56, but I'm with you on going for business. I'd say hold out and be patient. Make an offer if you like, but I wouldn't be aggressive.
One thing I've learned with collecting - there's always a better one just around the corner.
Offer wasn't accepted on the Gaudens HR?
btw, Rick Snow has two booths at LB?
OH, and happy Anniversary! :D Every one of those is a cherished milestone.

I apologize for not updating this in a while! I made offers on several HR Saints, with no agreement on a price. It was worth a shot. Anyways, this is what I finally decided on!     http://www.ebay.com/itm/32075919875....m1497.l2649I will definitely post some better pics when it arrives. I had to pay by echeck on this one, so it will be a week or two before I get it. The price was right, and I have a return policy and paypal protection if anything goes awry. I did some research on the seller, and he appears legit. I admit, making a purchase like this kind of scares the bejeebers out of me, but I'm SUPER excited! |

Sorry but I haven't kept up with the thread and don't feel like reading all the pages. You decided on a small cent's collection? Or are you just going for all of them? lol.
