Woohoo! I finally broke down and bought an Ira coin! Ok, ok, it's
not one of the $10K coins he tends to sell, but to me it's a
beauty. PLUS, the auction came with a bonus coin. Both coins are
beauties, and both are nicer than the FECs that I previously had
in my collection!

Here's the link to the auction, since I haven't had time to take
my own pics, yet!

Wow!

They're both as lovely in person as they are in the pics!

Time to get one in my Dansco 7070 Type Set and the other in my
regular album!

Thanks, Ira! Positive feedback is on the way!



I was also bidding in that auction, but dropped out early. A great
looking coin, except that nasty scratch below the eagle scared me
away. If it weren't for that mark, your bid would not have been
enough! ;o)



Scratch?? I'm not seeing a scratch.

I see a couple dings from other coins, but no scratch. Still an AU-50 to
me.


Those aren't dings or scratches. They're birthmarks. Badges of manhood.
Even MS65's are allowed a few.

I think I gotta put that AU 1857 in my Type Set! But, my Large and Half
Cents will look pretty silly in comparison, won't they? Hmm, maybe an
excuse to get better Large and Half Cents! ;-)

Now there's a man who has a firm grip on the joys of numismatics! Way to go
with the acquisition of that pretty FE Cent, amigo!

Coingratulations Eric. It is a milestone which many of us have duly
attained. I almost think there should be an insert in the PCGS holder or
something

You can see my Ira coin he

and my wife put me in the doghouse for about a month, but I love Anne(the
silver dollar)

What is an Ira coin?
