Priced way too high for ruined coins that are painful to even look at. I wouldn't even pay melt value for that junk.

[James_OldeTowne]

I think it is seriously cool. Talk about an extremely challenging collection!

[CoinPulsive PCM]

Did the seller REALLY say "some are AU" I thought If a coin is holed it ruined the value? and I dont see any that would grade AU, but if he is refering to the 1844 and the 1846 as the AU halves, I don't see how. I can see dings in both rims. I see 7 bids but the seller has a reserve price...I really don't want to know what his reserve is. But are those rare/key dates? im not really familiar with seated halves.

[James_OldeTowne]

They are dollars.

Having a hole and a greatly reduced value has nothing to do with the detail grade of the coin. So yes they can have a hole and be AU, but they won't have AU value.

it is a shame and it is a cool collection

unfortanatly some like them

I was wonder if he was tempted to use his drill to finish the set?

.... Now THAT would be a shame! Can you imagine someone making a video of that?! It would remind me of the old silent movies "Perils of Penelope" where the villian ties Penelope to the railroad tracks.... Instead the villian chucks up the coin under the spinning drill press and laughs manically.....

 

cripes.... I think I've had too much coffee this morning.....

[JIM F.]

Can you imagine buying the set and putting them on a chain that you wear around your neck to all coin shows. I think you will definitely get noticed!

Yeah, but probably not in a GOOD way! It might be grounds for being beat to death by red books......

As long as someone gets it on tape, and posts to YouTube!

 

 

[Walkerfan]

Yikes! That set is painful to look at......

 

I wonder what the reserve is; as it is not met yet.

 

I hate to say it but I think the necklace idea would look awfully COOL, yet VERY politically INCORRECT!!

 

I liken wearing it to coin show kinda like wearing a full length mink coat to a PETA event! It would anger the rabble.

[mkman123]

ouch! What a shame those coins have holes in the,

Thanks, I do my best.......I'm glad that you appreciate my sense of humor.

Good point! Pedigree = The Holy Shame Collection OR The Holy Sham Collection?

[CoinPulsive PCM]

My mistake thinking they were halves. I have to agree with you Crohnos and Dcoin, he would have to be out of his mind to hole them to make them uniform. BUT atleast he didn't try to hammer them into a coin ring!...things that make you go buhhhhh

There was a someone ATS, can't remember his handle who wore a vest and hat to shows with holed coins sewn to them. All type coins and the hat was all gold coins.

I don't know who that guy is, but I like his style!

 

[No+4Me]

I don't collect holed coins, and the person selling this set probably has unrealistic expectations as to what they are worth. However, if he found these coins interesting, and sought them out, and found some satisfaction in assembling his collection, then I say... good for him (or her)!

He is on the NGC boards as well, though seldom posts. I bought some love tokens from him a couple of months ago off of NGC's BST.

 

GREAT guy, by the way!

Just Painful to look at...
