I'm all over that!

[James_OldeTowne]

I know silver is up, but is it up that much ?

 

[PerryHall]

That's only the starting bid. I'll bring a lot more than that to an on the floor bidder. I think Heritage uses eBay for cheap advertising.

[RGT]

So, do you think the winning bid will come through eBay? That 20% buyers fee has to hurt.

[Schatzy]

Any one have any money then can loan me!! PLEASE!!

Now don't go bidding it up over my 2.7 mil budget ya'll!

It looks like it's been cleaned to me.

 

I'm suffering from what might be called the fox and the grapes syndrome.

[okbustchaser]

I have never had the least interest in owning one...and I specialize in bust silver.

 

Edit to add: And no, the price has never played any part in my lack of desire.

[jtryka]

I think that may in fact be the first genuine 1804 silver dollar ever listed on eBay!

Moral of that story:

[DC Dawg]

"Acquisition of an 1804 silver dollar-especially an Original or Class I example-bestows immediate numismatic immortality upon its possessor."

 

Wait... I have that much laying around here somewhere... maybe it's in the cookie jar!!
