AUCTION TERMS:

• Auction ends one week after date of this listing.
  
• You will receive exactly that item actually imaged and described.
  
• On the honor system, please do not edit any posts or retract bids!
  Likewise, I promise not to retract this auction item.
  
• Payment of check or money-order only, made out to "James Garcia".
  
• Free shipping for board members, and no reserve.
  
• Ten day return policy for your high bid.
  
• Authenticity unconditionally guaranteed.
  
• I will almost always start my items at one cent.
  
• Also, I unconditionally guarantee no shill bids.
  []
  
• To bid, just post a reply to the immediate previous bidder with a message that simply says: "previous bid was $XXX, my bid is $YYY". You must bid higher than the previous poster's bid. Please, just as a general rule, keep increments around 5% or a dollar, whichever is more. We don't want to annoy our esteemed fellow board members by winning by a lousy penny.
  []
  
• With variances in different time zones, please note the ending time carefully (one week after the system date/time stamp on this post). Please be kind and bid early. "Sniping" isn't practical in this kind of auction venue.
  []
  
• I realize that each time someone bids, this thread will bump to the top. Unfortunately, I do not know of any way around that at this time. My apologies. One way to look at it is that the best items - those that receive the most bids - will often be near the top of this forum. This is an ongoing attempt at establishing some sort of alternate auction venue, and I'm open to any suggestions.

Since we seem to be increasing in $2.50 increments, I'll go $12.50.

James, is this a Draped Bust Large Cent? Your pictures seem to indicate something completely different...

OOps, you are correct - it is a LIBERTY CAP large-cent! It would help if I got the type right!

 

Thanks for pointing that out - correction made.

 

The Lib Cap is of course a lot tougher than the Draped Bust for '96.
