Billy http://cgi.ebay.com/UK-Famous-Cartwh...temZ8422423992 You are correct in saying that the coin is nowhere near VF+. However, this dealer does not offend me in the least, since he starts the bidding very low. In this auction it is possible that someone will win a really neat piece of history for the equivalent of 75c U.S. Where else can you have that pleasure for less than a buck? Mr. Jaggers |

Mr. Jaggers Plus, you don't have to pay for that extensive restoration! Like restoring classic cars or building hotrods, you seldom get your money back when you sell. Where's my checkbook? Or maybe the seller will accept payment in old Aussie coins from my foreign goodie box. Bruce |

My 1942 Ford Fordor streetrod will be completed within the next two months. I wonder what kind of deal I could swing with Ira for really nice key coins. I bet he and his missus would really enjoy tooling around in the car. All steel body, frame off build, 350 cubic inch Chevy crate engine putting out 330 horse power on 87 octane. R700 overdrive automatic transmission, Ford 8 inch rear end. Four wheel power disc brakes, power steering (via Fatman Fabrications independent suspension and streering rack), air conditioning, dechromed and handles removed, remote control door openers and power window openers, remote control open and close trunk. When they started to build the car I told them that I'm old, I'm fat, I'm lazy, and don't need to impress anyone, so the seat slides back far enough and there is no effort driving it. I can even open the back doors to let someone in by pressing a button. It's also extremely quite as I have a lot of respect for my neighbors and I don't want to wake them up cranking up in the morning. So, Ira, being a little bit old, not fat, not lazy and he surely doesn't need to impress anyone, would fit right in. Maybe he'd trade for an MS65 1916 SLQ and a few early dollars. Cliff |

Cliff I'm amazed that anyone who might spend years crafting things for themselves like boats, cars (rods & customs), even homes, could ever bear to part with their "labor of love". I sure could never detach myself from the emotional bond after so much work and expense to consider selling ith what I had taken so much care to build. Since we don't "build" our individual coins (apologies to the elongated makers), they usually can come and go without a tear. However, building a coin *collection* can be another thing, emotionally, if selling becomes necessary. In that regard, I'm sure Ira would enjoy your Ford in return for some of his impersonal numismatic goodies. His special toilet seat ought to fit somewhere. As for me, my neighbors were driving those things when I was a kid, so they don't seem that "old" to me. (We were a Chevy family.) My mechanically-inclined friends were always customizing and souping up their flathead Fords from that era, which seemed to be bought cheaply and were easy to work on. I liked to watch and maybe help out, but I never learned enough to do one myself. Bruce |

I liked to watch and maybe help out, but I never learned enough to do one myself. Bruce Bruce, The key is in the building. The same as coin sets I've built. It's the design, the search, the assembly and then viewing the end product and then the joy is done and it's time to move on to something else. I've never built a coin set where once it was done I would lock it away or even sit and look at it and enjoy it. The same with the car. The joy is in having a vision, fulfilling that vision and then moving on to the next vision. Right now my big vision is on an old cotton mill and 7 acres of land in the middle of downtown Douglasville, Georgia. We are talking about 150,000 square feet, two story tall, brick building, completely open end to end and having some of the most beautiful windows, hidden behind shutters that would make a great start on some upscale condons and upscale office space. Someone bought an old thread mill and converted it in to offices and it's packed with lawyers, brokers and the sort of folks that put on the ritz at work. They kept the original wood floors and the old thread had actually become one with the wood making amazing designs. A few coats of sealer and some polimer stuff and they had ready made flooring. Anyway, I've got the backers with the cash and backers with the cash to do a conversion but my wife keeps reminding me that I've never undertaken this kind of project before (never stopped me from doing anything else) and that given my health I probably wouldn't live long enough to see it finished. So, we will see. I'm going this weekend with the photographer and see what kind of presentation we can work up for a meeting next week. Again, it's having the vision, making a plan, carrying it through, seeing the results and then walking away to something new. Have a great Memorial day, think about the guys and gals that went over and didn't come back. I went and came back and some day the nightmares will stop. Oh and I apologize for getting so far off topic but when I get going it's hard to stop. Any bets on what silver is going to close at on Tuesday? Cliff |

Billy http://cgi.ebay.com/UK-Famous-Cartwh...temZ8422423992 The part that bothers me the most is the "restored to beautiful copper lustre". That can't be good! In all coin auctions I pretty much ignore the grade as well as any hype anyway as almost all I see are overgraded. For these coins the most detracting feature that I usually see is rough edges. I hate that on a copper! Especially the Cartwheel Penny or US large Cents. This one doesn't look too bad but it is not one I am interested in owning. Dale |
