Title: bought a 2c coin for $90 today
Post by: serial on May 20, 2014, 11:22:26 AM
I think I may have over paid a little :angel:
but is is a PCGS graded ms 64 rd 1968 so I kinda wanted one
plus I have sold hundreds of low grade ones for $6 each so I havnt really lost any money on it just swapped 15 circulated ones for it :winkextra:
what do you think about how much I paid?

lol a bit of blackmail there :P
my missus knows everything I buy or sell
I just have to justify my transactions if pushed and I pushed it a bit on this one, "who pays $90 for a 2 cent coin?"

$208.50 with 4 days to go with 14 bids just goes to show how exceptional this 1968 2c is from a trusted seller.
I know how hard it is to find these in such a grade and they will only get harder to find in future
