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 am not bidding on any there.
I am bidding on several at the "Legend Morphy Regency Auction" in December though.

I'm high bidder on this right now:
http://stacksbowers.com/Auctions/Auctio ... tID=401433I 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.
