It’s great when your knowledge shows to be greater then that of the person selling a coin (and any other bidders for that matter) then you turn that knowledge into a killer deal for yourself. thumbsup2.gif

 

Glad to see you score large and basking in the warm joy of your success Bruce. cloud9.gif

 

Also can’t wait to see some good pics. thumbsup2.gifthumbsup2.gif

I hope that it meets your highest expectations; but, even if it doesn't, the potential benefit certainly outweighs any risk that you've taken. Update us when you receive the coin, Bruce.

That's a nice catch and the seller definitely left money on the table by not mentioning the motto in the auction. These are a little tougher to grade than other issues, save the 1932, so let us know how it looks in-hand. thumbsup2.gif

Nothing new lately........deals have been hard to come by on Ebay lately. For a few months there, I was having good luck, now I can't seem to find much worth bidding on, and when I do, I get sniped at the last second. I like the idea of the Dansco type set, so I'm thinking of working on that for awhile.

Bruce- Great score and congratulations! 2 questions for you.

 

What is the difference in between the light motto and heavy motto (or better yet WHY the difference)?

 

Would you actually stick this coin in an album? This one looks like a definite slab (or protection) to me.

There are 3 mottos for that year, Light, Heavy and Regular or Medium. Light looks like its almost washed off. Heavy and Regular motto, look really simular except that the W is different. The W on a heavy motto, has the Middle of the W higher than the rest of the motto. As to your second question. Yes this is going to stay raw and not in a slab.

I thought the image was pretty good myself, but we will see when I get it in hand.

For those that don't know the value of this coin....

 

A regular Motto MS64 is worth $50.00 or so, Then a Light Motto is worth $210.00 or so in MS64, $400.00 or So in MS65, and $800.00 or so in MS66 and in $4,000 or so in MS67
