I couldnt resist the impulse....What do you think?

I couldnt resist putting a bid in on this one. just seemed like a really nice penny. perhaps it will never be worth anything, but I always wanted to own a business strike in MS69

Hard to tell but from the picture, it looks like it has a date of 2001 not 2005. Anyone else see this or is it just me?

gmarguli was selling those for $20 a couple of weeks back.

Not only was I selling those in a Dutch auction for $19.95 about two weeks ago, that is one of the coins that I sold. I don't recall the seller buying it from me, but that insert number matches my submission.

 

If you would like a P mint for $20 postage paid in MS69RD, let me know. Or a roll of either P or D for $750 postage paid.

 

And it is without a doubt a 2005 coin.

Oh well. i guess I should ignore my impulses. I will return the coin. Funny, I searched high and low on ebay for similar coins and didnt find any completed auctions for the business strike in MS 69RD. lesson learned.

go to the bank

Buyer's remorse seems like a poor reason to return an auction item. Also, I didn't notice that the seller accepted returns on coins.

[TerrapinWill]

You're right. No returns. I guess I just learned a $20 lesson. I will keep the coin. Who knows, maybe someday I will get back what I paid. Otherwise, I will always have something in hand to remind me why I shouldnt follow an impulse.

 

Generally I only buy what I really like and collect. Proof Lincolns, Franklins, and the best nickels I can afford with my budget (for a 2003-2006 small set I am putting together.). All in all, it could be worse. It's still a nice coin. My only MS69.
