This auction has gone higher than I ever imagined. I am now going to offer the winner the opportunity to take a one ounce silver medallion in place of the foreign coins. Thanks for bidding!

Also, is this coin the three cent silver or the three cent nickel that you have? Thanks

Nov 25th, 2010 at 6:25:14 PM PST by

I think that it is silver. That is what I was told that it was.

Nov 25th, 2010 at 8:35:54 PM PST by

What age range and what type of coins are the "foreign coins" that you have? Thanks

Nov 25th, 2010 at 6:21:36 PM PST by

They are from the early 70''s to the late 90's. They are all foreign coins.

Nov 25th, 2010 at 8:37:45 PM PST by

I have now added the 1900 Indian head penny and the 1871 3 cent piece. If this auction reaches 4000 credits, I will let the winner choose to add some wheat pennies, old buffalo nickels, silver dimes, and even silver quarter in place of some of the foreign coins. Or they can just take the foreign coins. Winner just let me know in your response to my email at the end of the auction and I'll let you know how we will swap out the coins for the foreign coins. Thanks for bidding and Happy Thanksgiving!

I was looking closer at the Indian head penny. I think it's really a 1900 not 1902. I just found 5 wheat pennies that are from the 40's. I will substitute 1 per 3 foreign coins if the winner likes. Just let me know in the winning email response. Good luck!

Nov 24th, 2010 at 12:28:21 PM PST by

So far that's 17 foreign coins AND the Indian head penny. Good luck!

Nov 24th, 2010 at 12:07:13 PM PST by

That $21 price tag was from when I bought it in the late 80's so it should be worth more now. Thanks for bidding!

I couldn't find the half penny BUT I did find an 1871 rare 3 cent piece that I will add if the credits go to 3000. I also found a 1902 Indian penny that I will add if the credits go to 2000. The 3 cent piece is priced $21. Good luck and happy bidding!

How high do the credits have to go before you will throw in the half penny?

Nov 23rd, 2010 at 6:57:44 PM PST by

I looked for the half penny and can't find it. It's here somewhere, just not sure where.

Nov 24th, 2010 at 3:22:20 AM PST by

do you have any 1900-1920's wheat cents?

Nov 22nd, 2010 at 10:09:36 AM PST by

I don't think so, but I'll check.

Nov 23rd, 2010 at 3:15:29 AM PST by

beautiful coin :)

Nov 16th, 2010 at 2:33:07 PM PST by

Thanks. It's an unusual one. I didn't even know that we ever had a half dime. I even found a half penny.

Nov 17th, 2010 at 6:54:25 AM PST by

half dime....as in 5cent????

Nov 21st, 2010 at 11:08:34 AM PST by

I think it was before the nickels were made. It's smaller than a dime. It's really unusual.

Nov 21st, 2010 at 11:53:40 AM PST by

I'm a watching this one!!

Nov 20th, 2010 at 11:42:30 PM PST by

nice auction!!I haven't seen one of these on here before.

Nov 19th, 2010 at 10:05:48 AM PST by

Yes, I haven't seen any more of them around. I bought it in the late 80's when I was collecting silver coins.

Nov 19th, 2010 at 2:10:45 PM PST by

Nov 18th, 2010 at 3:34:09 AM PST by

Awesome coin!!! I really want it for my collection! are you gonna list the half cent too?

Nov 17th, 2010 at 5:42:01 PM PST by

I probably will be in the near future. I'm waiting to see how well these do first. Thanks.

Nov 18th, 2010 at 3:33:54 AM PST by

If this auction reaches 500 credits, I will start adding a foreign coin for every additional 100 credits. Good luck!

Nov 17th, 2010 at 3:42:52 PM PST by

Does it have arrows at the date???

Nov 17th, 2010 at 4:59:35 AM PST by

Yes, and a person holding what looks like a flag and stars around the border. The back says United States of America around the edge and Half Dime in the center of a band of leaves.

Nov 17th, 2010 at 6:56:15 AM PST by

Yes it is. Thanks.
