Wow, busyeye! That's a very sharp looking coin, well done on the listing, glad you were able to figure it out. I think you'll do well as a seller on eBay.
As a head's up to everyone else, I'm gonna hit this one hard, so it's useless bidding and only driving up the price, lol!

Thank Lucien and everyone! Feeling very merry right now. In fact so merry, I think I'll post one or two more.

Good for you Busy. 6:37pm EST and you already got 7 bids (now how many of them belong to Chris is another story lol), but you got 6 days left. I hope it pans out great for you.

Hang on there Chris. I'm going to give it a shot to. I gave my top offer before I read all this post. Sorry didn't mean to step on your toes. I should of read on before hitting ebay.Looks like Busyeye is going to do very well.

[kloccwork419]

[liveandievarieties]

Pshaw! Nobody's stepping on my toes Frank! I'll throw down my hammer bid at the end if I'm around and take it away from you if I decide to, lol!

[lara4228]

Eh Chris? Nice safety net you threw out there...."if you decide"...."if I'm around"....:LOL_Hair:

I go my chompers in there too ;)

Yeah, sorry Lara, I can't sit on the computer 24/7 like some people.....:sign10::sign10:

[lara4228]

Really? I'm sorry that YOU don't have that luxury! Sucks to be you :tinysmile_tongue_t:

[kloccwork419]

I think it will grade very nice. An easy MS65 or higher.

[pennies4pennies]

Okay what did I get into. I'll have to have my workers keep a EYE out lol. They just sit around anyway. I might let you have it Chris.

Hi everyone!
I want to let everyone know that while the coin does have it's luster and is in very fine shape. I want you all to be aware that it does have a mark(s) above the and near liberty, below the chin and to the right & slightly above the date. They are not harsh but suddle. Maineman pointed it out to me when I initially posted the pictures when I found the coin in my search and he believes it to be the "beginning of a print" (please note, not mine since I wear gloves when handling during and all times after my searches). As you see from the pictures, it's not a full dark heavy ugly full print, in fact it doesn't look like one to me but only bc as i said its not a full plastered-on print. But I do NOT argue or ignore at all with Mainemans much experienced and very trained eye. I'm writing this to make you all aware of it in all fairness. I know most all of you have very trained eyes and see it clearly but others who are new may not. I mean it took MM to point it out to me in my initial thread. Please note this is my first sale I put up on eBay and I'm new at it. I want to be sincere and true about what I sell and want you all to have faith in me when I do that I will be open about my discoveries. Most especially to all of you hear on this forum. Have I just possibly just botched what could have been an awesome sale?? Maybe!! But only for the chance I not loose my graces with all of you and your faith in me means alot to me. In looking at my pictures clearly, I note the marks are not that visible but they are there none the less. But it's still a very very nice coin. Your all aware my coins come from circulation, and bc of my being new at this, I recieve your professional advice and ideas on everything you think and suggest on my finds. So very important to me. Someone recently posted how like a professional painting can be restored they can do the same for coins (I think it was a cleaning topic in the forum) I figured I'd still sell this one bc it's still looks awesome. In noting that my finds are circulated and chances are always slim to none that I find the very perfect coin, I choose to go raw on all my sales now and in the future. Again thank you all for your time, your comments are welcome and appreciated here, if to teach me about how to sell. thanks again.

[busyeye]

Also, bc they are circulated, how would you advise me on posting on eBay. When they ask for instance on the description to describe it, does that only mean the type of error, the variety? Please it's fine to use this sale as an example on how to sell a coin. I'm good with that. Seriously! Teaching and learning is idea here. ...Something tells me, like a fly I'm gonna be swatted real good here. It's all good people, it's all good. Just don't hit too hard!

[copperlover]

I have read your very honest description of the coin with all the details one would like to see. I commend you for doing that.
That will certainly give you high marks as an honest seller who would be good to do business with. I am hoping and praying that there will be great results in the final hours of your first sale.

Hi Roger, the reason I put vf is bc I took into account the parks I indicated. I know grading has more to do with the actual design of the coin... wear etc but noted vf simply bc of my desription of it. The lighting I used when I took the pic was both lamp light and lots of natural light (I've been told to do that before, to us enough natural light). What I can do is try taking more pics, like from angles but don't think it will show and I'd have to get it out of the 2x2 (that part is scary) bc its stapled...and I'm also afraid to touch it more even with my gloves on.

Thank you much Lucien, as I much respect others thought/opinions and seriousness about this profession or for others, hobby, as much as my own, and wish others to take me seriously about it as I wish to be respected too. But I know I'll learn from this something, which is just as important.

[busyeye]

Dunno if I can do it but wonder if I can edit my description to more details about it like I did here. I was so tired from trying to post it as I had a hard time that I did describe more about it. Can I do that and edit? Not home to do it right now, guess I'll have to wait till I get home.

[lara4228]

Leave it just the way it is. Sometimes putting too much info in there will deter the buyer from placing a bid. What you have is great. As you can already see, it has taken off to a great start. Don't disturb it, just let it do it's own thing.

Busy, you've wonderful for your first ebay listing. You should be proud of it. I know I am.

[RWBILLER]

Hi
It's just great (your add) and your coin. I got to remember it's a super rare coin. I hope you sell it for $500!!!!
Thanks
Roger

[liveandievarieties]

It's a really decent looking coin, but I've got a strong suspicion that some of our own forum members already love it more than I do!

I wonder who that could be???

[copperlover]

This coin has been labeled as a hot coin so it has got a lot of looks from several sites. I would expect some late action.

Lucien

[liveandievarieties]

Thinking that Busyeye is a marketing genius.... I've picked up BU examples of this variety on eBay for $30 and been the only bidder!

[kloccwork419]

Its just a beautiful coin. When I win Ill be sending it to get graded...lolololol

[liveandievarieties]

I'm out man, you'll always be a winner in my eyes :LOL_Hair:

[kloccwork419]

Wise words of a sniper!!!..lol

[liveandievarieties]

And you'll never see the reflection off my scope...

[kloccwork419]

Auction sniper Chris!!..Auction sniper!!!..Geez...Not DC sniper...:tinysmile_eyebrow_t

You can have the coin..lolol

[liveandievarieties]

lol, If you're gonna buy it and give it to me for Christmas man, you're great. Otherwise, I've already put my bids in. I'm finished, no joke!

[kloccwork419]

I got my highest in too..hope we know who wins and gets it slabbed. I just wanna know the grade

[liveandievarieties]

I agree- I'm really curious about that, but not curious enough to bid beyond where it's at. Won't be me, I can guarantee that.

[busyeye]

:LOL_Hair: ....It's all I can do! Your both so funny.
