"A brilliant, steel-blue Gem with gorgeous, matte-textured surfaces. Last year of the Buffalo nickels and a quality way to end the series. Only three pieces have graded higher.........$495"

 

Somebody send them a Redbook quick!

Give the guy a break. After he got rid of Bowers there is no one left at CU that knows anything about actual coins. The rest are hypsters and used car salesmen.

For a 38-D that price is out of line, but for a 1937? Seems alright.

Brad, read the description again

Brad, read the description again

 

I'll help him out. First few words of the second sentence of the description. Starts with "Last year..."

[Leothelion]

I missed that as well!

phatty thinks that maybe, just maybe HRH got into the medicine cabinet again.

Brad, read the description again

Whoopsa-daisy. I missed that. Between reading about the steel blue surfaces and all I didn't put two and two together.

I've got a nice 1908vdb Lincoln cent for sale.

Do you think that the PCGS weenies who that think that David Hall is THE god of numismatics will notice? They’ll be writing out a $30,000 check for a 1962 PCGS Proof-68, Red cent that will help them get to the top of the PCGS Registry.

 

Who cares if the grand guru of PCGS doesn’t know that there were Buffalo nickels minted in 1938? All than matters is PCGS POP-1

I should have added that this ad is in the Oct.6th edition of CoinWorld, page 41.

Hmmm - I've got a SET of 1858 Indian Head Cents - maybe we can work out a "trade" (Have an 1863 Bronze IHC too).

 

Hey!! You guys are always picking on HRH - It's a common mistake - lots of newbies think that because the Jeffs started in 1938, that the Buffs ended in 1937. Heck, I kept a roll of Unc 38-D Buffs for years waiting for everyone to find out about my great "error" coins - I was even going to run a B. Max Mehl ad offering to buy any one that you had to sell until I looked at the Redbook & found out that there 7 million (well, I was only 10 at the time so I was lucky, they wouldn't take my ad - something about minors).

 

I wonder if HRH thinks the last year they made those Lib nickels was 1912? (Probably not, there's been too much publicity lately).

[jtryka]

I wonder if he has any 1934 Saints for sale?

[Hoot]

I also always like how HRH quotes what the population is at the next grade level. Gee, imagine, the second most common buff at the MS67 grade level has only three (at PCGS) graded higher!

Here's mine:

Hickery dickery dock.

Mr. Hall was checking his clock.

The clock struck two

Mr. Hall made a boo-boo,

And now we're thinking, "what-the-fock?".
