Still a big fan of the 1913 Buff. I know your overbook on it.......just wonder by how much....so I can make a strong offer. ;)

That 1913 is pretty great. It's not quite as great in hand, you have to "bend it" to see the colors like the TrueView shows.

I'm high bidder on this right now:

http://stacksbowers.com/Auctions/Auctio ... tID=401433

I don't plan to up my bid so I will probably be out bid.

I doubt I will actually end up getting it, but if I do it's a great hole filler!

And if I don't I get to eat something other than beans and rice!


I had said I wasn't bidding in Stacks which I wasn't but I decided to plunge into this one, slightly at least :)

I have no idea what it will go for but if you "need" a Bust Disme this may be the cheapest out there for a year or more.

If I win, great, if I lose, we won't be doing an "imaginary Christmas" this year :)

All great. The bottom and top ones have a great look.

Have you actually seen the coins in hand though? Stack's pictures are pretty representative, but hand != picture on toned coins MANY times based on my experience.

I only buy auction coins that I've had someone look at in hand. Or me, of course.

The prices realized were all pretty high so I can see why you were an under bidder.
