Without questions, this is the lowest price coin I've ever had for

I'm told back in early '72 to introduce the new holder. The collecting
public was not invited nor were any Registry participants as Registry
sets were not in existence back ten. My educated guess is that 200-300
were struck but not all who said they would attend ever show up. How
many exist today? I don't know but I've never seen one before as most
I see are dimes, followed by Lincoln cents and finally 25c. Some
circulated Morgans were purported to have been released in sample
slabs as well.

The most expensive PCGS sample slab to sell was an auction sale on
eBay for $265. I have no idea what this is worth so I have started at
$6.95 with no reserve, the silver value of the coin therein with $2.50
for insured shipping. Sample slabs are highly collectible. If it
doesn't sell, maybe I'll have Oly elongate it for me.

Ira, I'm sure that you take a handful of free elongateds from Mr.
Dillard every time you see him and later try to sell them for big
money (or at least as much as possible).  That's your style, plain and
simple, RF is correct in general.

Ira can't even keep a collectible that he got for free.  It's all
about selling higher to the biggest fool he can find.

Caveat emptor.

Olsen,

You are wrong as usual. I bought a medium-sized of assortment of coins
that had been a charitable contribution to a local institution.
Unfortunately, I sold the lot by parcelling it out and after much
effort, I lost $291 on the entire deal. I had kept out the Kennedy
half as I know I would only get the bullion value for it and I
figrured it at $6. I knew sample slabs were becoming collectibles for
many as they are generally inexpensive. The common ones, particularly
the Roosies, were selling at shows for $10-$15, so I decided to place
the item for sale on eBay for a no reserve price of $6.95 just for
kicks.

I don't know any Mr. Dillard and I wouldn't take a handful of anything
for free and then attempt to sell it. You are about as mean spirited
as your slimy pal RF and I haven't forgotten the adage that you're
known by the company you keep.

Thus speaketh Ira the parasite, the lowest of the low, the scum of the
earth!
Call me what you will, Mr. Parasite, your opinion means less to me
than the shit I wipe off my ass.
You, however, seem extraordinarily concerned over my opinion of you.
Could it be that you know that I'm right?
That you are a bottom-feeding parasite?
Is it your guilty conscience eating away at you?
