Aw, go ahead and let 'er rip, Dale! Be bold! Be strong! Flex your
numismatic muscles and show the world that there ain't no challenge that
you'll back down from!

BTW, I note that the seller stipulates that "serious bidders only" are
the ones he wants to participate in this auction. It would indeed be
VERY serious for me, in that the opening bid is more than I paid for the
last two new cars that became a part of my family!

On another plane of thought, you and I have seen some mighty strange
things happen within the hallowed halls of eBay. Someone may come along
with more moola than brains, and then... well, you know the story.

Say, you might be interested in knowing that while I was polishing my
boots a moment ago, I suddenly saw the visage of a famous religious
personage in my shoe polish! I hurriedly grabbed it up and locked it in
my safe while I ponder on the next course of action to take!

I think I got one that looks just like that. Some lady tossed it to
me from a Marti Gras float when I lifted my shirt and showed her my
bellybutton. Hit me right between the eyes with it too.

I always try to keep a few portrait coins around (Leo Hogmouth, etc.) so
that no matter what I see in the mirror in the a.m. there is always
something uglier that I can look at.

:-)))))))))
Looks quite real to me and a nice example to boot but a bit pricey I would say.
Needs to be weighed before bidding and start it at $100 and there will be a lot of
bidders
if the weight is correct.

But Larry, he does encourage you to make an offer via his email address.
You could always make him an offer of $5 or so and copy ebay in on it.
I'm sure that ebay will just love that when someone points it out to
them :0).

That is exactly what the seller is counting on. The coin looks like a
fake to me from a quick look at it. Sure, there may very well be
variants of that coin, but the one in Krause he delights in referring to
has the obv. legend ending with POLO. and not the POLOM. as appears on
his coin. The design of the truncation is also significantly different,
as is the denticulation type. Nope. Whatever else it might be, it's not
the one in Krause :-)

I'm just surprised that they are asking for payment via paypall as
opposed to Western Union.

Holding out for that brace of Star Trek mugs, aren't you?
