glad you like it. I had two more to list both are Au plus pieces. one is AU the other is AU-55 or uncirculated. Could be worth 100$ each. The good items i posted are a test. A test to see if i can trust that good items will get the bids they are worth. I am always fair with my customers and i usually feel guilty if my stuff goes to high and add to it. I currently have about 1200$ in inventory. This is not including my collection or high ticket items. I will never sell for instance a Vam PL Morgan dollar graded ms66 by NGC on here , but i will consider posting some other nice pieces.

You sound so much like my husband. Some people don't like him either because he tells a person straight up if items are fake, ect. You guys should hang out, just kidding. I'm glad you did so well in high school and got excepted to a lot of colleges, congrats!!!!

i am a very straight forward person. It rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
thanks for your congrats i really appreciate the support i get from listia users =]

So with respect to size, this coin is between a quarter and a Kennedy half dollar? Similar to the size of the new $1 coins?

May 17th, 2010 at 11:09:57 AM PDT by

barley smaller than a half. 27.5 mm in diameter 10.89grams a modern penny weighs 2.5 grams. to give you an example

May 17th, 2010 at 2:37:05 PM PDT by

woah where do u find coins like that? its pretty insane to find rare coins and even in th 1800's

May 16th, 2010 at 5:42:02 AM PDT by

i find them everywhere, ebay, garage sales, estate sales, auctions, anywhere.

May 16th, 2010 at 9:02:03 AM PDT by

Congrads to you for all you have done, kooken ps. cool coin

May 12th, 2010 at 11:21:53 PM PDT by

thanks. this coin seems to be doing good already might have to list some other stuff tonight. Graduation is tomorrow and i gotta practice my speech so i don't know. Definitely at least one au walking liberty this weekend.

May 13th, 2010 at 11:34:23 AM PDT by

Things you can expect to see are
lots of proof and mint sets
some nice colonial us coins low grade/ environmental damage only way i could sell for under thousands of $$
more large cents in high grades
gobs and gobs of MS-60 silver quarters dimes and halves
walking liberty halves
standing liberty quarters
barber quarters
i am currently not listing any silver dollars because i rarely get in low grade Morgans or Peace dollars

Well, I am back everyone. I have gotten a lot of emails about where I was and why I had nothing listed… gosh I was only gone like 2 weeks. Well I was busy graduating valedictorian of my high school class, traveling to Kentucky and winning 2nd place at the national DECA conference, being accepted into 3 different colleges at Louisiana State University (Honor College, Engineering College, and College of Basic Sciences), and receiving one of 25 science related academic full-ride scholarships to LSU. So yeah, listia got the backburner for a while, but that’s enough about me. I am Back!! And back with vengeance…
My rant for the day is for all the sensitive sellers on the site that are “getting their panties in a bunch.” If you can’t take criticism then don’t use a computer. You should expect it on an auction site! I can’t tell you how many people have blocked me or have been blocked by me for getting all upset over me talking about their coins… Like what the heck... It wasn’t like I was insulting them. God forbid they have to settle down their crying coins because I said they were cleaned/fake/overgraded. If you didn’t want my opinion you should try to sell it. End of story.

big dogs coming out to play on this one. should be a fun time

May 13th, 2010 at 8:10:09 PM PDT by

yeah i have a feeling this is gonna bring some claws out. not to say it isn't worth it , but same some of it for whats coming next. =]
also bonuses will likely result in this auction if it continues to go up.

May 13th, 2010 at 8:26:04 PM PDT by

im not much into coins, but thats a neat coin!

May 14th, 2010 at 11:03:25 PM PDT by

glad you like it. I am trying to put up some stuff nobodies seen before.

May 15th, 2010 at 10:54:26 AM PDT by

May 15th, 2010 at 8:18:40 PM PDT by

May 16th, 2010 at 8:58:29 AM PDT by

Scheeeeeeshhhhhh!!!!!

May 15th, 2010 at 8:48:05 PM PDT by

glad you like it. more where this came from.

May 16th, 2010 at 9:01:03 AM PDT by

I am on a mission. I want to have at least 100 fans by my birthday. May 29th. I am shooting for 200 , but i want 100 for sure. To get this i will be adding an even more amazing auction every time i see my fans shoot up. You! the fans decide what goes up. The higher the auctions go and the more fans i get and the better the items will be.

May 16th, 2010 at 9:51:42 AM PDT by

that looks rare!

May 16th, 2010 at 9:06:46 PM PDT by

i can't say how many their are around anymore. with the introduction of small cent coins the u.s government "outlawed" these. And encouraged people to turn them in for new small cents. These things are bigger than a quarter and heavier. People didn't like carrying them all. So a lot of people loved the new flying eagle. they were beautiful and very popular. Tons of these were turned in and melted.
original mintage was 2,425,342 i am sure at least 60% were turned in. The rest are probably in the hands of collectors or stilled buried like this one was. I bought these off a metal detector friend. Over the years he has sold me a ton of coins he has found.

May 16th, 2010 at 9:20:23 PM PDT by

Thanks for the info. Interesting.

May 17th, 2010 at 7:27:47 PM PDT by

np that's what i am here for =]

May 17th, 2010 at 7:40:21 PM PDT by

These old coins are very impressive. How long have you been a collector?

May 20th, 2010 at 4:28:02 PM PDT by

to be honest i have no idea. It's been a long time though. My great grandfather always sent me coins and talked about the history behind them. Never really knew him that much, but he got me into the hobby that's for sure. He died about 8 years ago and left me his collection. Ever since i have been collecting.

May 20th, 2010 at 7:13:21 PM PDT by

Thank you for responding.
I will be sure to bid on some of these auctions.

May 20th, 2010 at 7:40:45 PM PDT by

no problem i try to get to comments quickly , but i have been really lazy today lol.
I just got done picking out the stuff for tomorrows new auctions.
it's gonna blow some people away lol.

May 20th, 2010 at 7:53:28 PM PDT by

got some new shipping supplies today. Figured if i am gonna be selling more stuff on here might as well make it look nice. So i picked up a box of bubble mailers and shipping labels.
This item will be shipped first class mail with deliver confirmation. (paypal mutli-order Shipment) and will be in a bubble mailer for its protection. The coin will be in a museum flip to insure it doesn't get scratched.
