In addition, I decided to list the one non-trivial Bust Half duplicate I've
had for while. I purchased it "by mistake", not realizing that I had
purchased a much better example of this variety a full 2 years earlier. So
much for my crack record keeping. Note that this is an R5+ variety and thus
commands a nifty premium, even in its low grade.
So, I listed this coin as "1833 Bust Half O-115 R5+ VG10" and fiddled with
the prices on it for a couple of days. It lasted, I think, 3 days. eBay
yanked it today because I put a numeric grade in the description. Wow, I
called it a VG10!
What a waste of time. Whatever, I corrected "my mistake" and it's listed
again. I hope the 8 people watching it refind it!
Please feel free to take a look at my modest listings this week. Only 4
items, but I honestly am shocked that the multiple-set lot didn't get picked
off yet. If $50 doesn't get it sold, I'll put it all in a box (well, it's
already in a small flat-rate PM box!) and put it away. A single box down
from 2 partially filled file cabinets is good enough for me!

I hope everyone has a nice holiday.

When these dubious sellers are "self-indicting", need anybody
additional "fair warning"???
