There is no lone bidder that I know of. He knew of Arizona Dave so he called him. Other than that I think it is all open for now..

Why did I fail to mention that he owned a coin store? Well that is a good question and I did think about it. But I also knew that detail could reveal his identity fairly quick and things were not looking so good. I guess I decided to put the list of pennies out there and see if folks would be interested and for the most part they were. This is of course why I had to go back and get more details, details that collectors would want not copper hoarders. In this regard it worked as I intended.Thogey wrote:Why would you fail to mention it?

Thogey wrote:I'm not trying to pick a fight. It's just a suggestion for doing business here, we are all dealers, on some level. We all understand the work that goes into putting a hoard like that together.

Recyclersteve wrote:Ethan, I'm not bidding on this lot, but have been following the posts very closely and will be curious who takes down the whole thing and, if possible, what they pay for it. I just want to say that I think you did a fantastic job in assisting someone who wasn't in a position to do all the work themselves.
