It might be a good one!

 

So, if you have read my last journal, this one is a nice part two.

Here I am bored a couple of days ago. Ive surfed everything. Ebay, telatrade, great collections, and Heritage. Nothing I want, or could find. Anyway, I go back onto ebay and look for raw coins. There it was a Canada 1953 nsf pl-65 penny. So the seller's dad had labled on the cardboard 2x2 holder. Is it for real? This is rare, raw or graded! The price was like 4-5 dollars. If it is for real, it could be worth 800.00 in that grade. Hmm. Could be a selling gimmick. So I check out the seller's other stuff. The other stuff has a lot of pl coins graded and raw, and some are considerably valuable. I have to. I just do. I have to gamble. So I place 14.00 or so on it. Then I forgot about it untill jesterday afternoon. I was off work early so I went on ebay to check it out. OMG. Only 12 min. Left. How lucky is that. Someone else had the high bid. Anyway, I put 30.00 on it . No! I have to have it. So before I confirmed that bid. I changed it. The time was now counting down . Less than a min. Left. I quickly placed a bid of $102.00. 6, 5, 4.. sec. Ended. I won. I won. I got it for $21.00. Now, maybe I paid $21.00 for a penny. Orrrr, maybe. $800.00. Now the waiting game begins. First delivery from the seller. ( hopefully soon. ) Then, sending it in for grading. The gamble for that piece of gold continues............
