We selfgraded it as MS63
The vendor should have asked one of our spanish imigrants to make a translation and should have offered it on the spanish ebay
He would have gotten double there  Grin

Like it or not "His loss was your gain" And, quite frankly doesn't it feel good to actually be a winner once in a while! Just yesterday I had to pay $7 for a back-up propeller for one of my planes and I felt (actually knew) I was getting ripped off but I bought it anyway as I like to keep an extra on hand. (Especially the way I fly). Last night while roaming Ebay I found a fellow with two brand news ones, still in the bag, so I bid .99 cents on them and won the auction. Even with shipping I came out way ahead on those two so I did have a little good luck yesterday as well! Yes, it feels good!

Ebay has been sending studies around that they are 20% cheaper then brick stores
I believe them because anything I buy is up to 60% cheaper
So yes it feels good because in this case both sides are winners

*drool*

I think gold is beautiful, but there must be something wrong with my head.  I'd take good circulated silver coins over it any day.  There's just something warm and inviting to an old silver coin.

It is some French plot, like posting silver in a gold coin thread. Cry

Kitty, you're right on silver. All of my life I've liked silver, and like you mentioned, it's warm and inviting. Got married.....didn't like the looks of gold so I received a white gold wedding band....SILVER in color. Of course, the wife received a white gold wedding set. I metal detect, and when I find a Barber coin, or even a common silver Rosie dime, my day is made.

Scottisch
That coin is georgeous but for me too small and expensive
I like the reverse big and cheap  Cheesy

Like the 500 Balboas from the Franklin Mint
All firstday covers since they probably ran the press day and night cranking out the total in less then 24 hours
