I've listed the entire 1884 1/2 Rupee population to give you guys on idea of what is at NGC- What a strike!!!!! The reverse is an OUTSTANDING strike, and the obverse is pretty good as well- Obverse: Gem Luster, a tinge of Champagne toning mixed in the radiating white luster, almost pristine fields, light surface abrasions in the right part of the field,a contact mark or two in the facial area, Gorgeous eye appeal, and WHAT A STRIKE!!! Reverse: You will drown in the whirlpool of luster, be in awe of the strike, hints of champagne mixed within the white beautiful gem luster, and be in admiration of the eye appeal- "Hello Bidders and Bidettes" "Welcome to: Tails From The Crank" Get it, "Tails" like Heads or "Tales" like "stories", and "Crank" is "Cranko"- The above is a play on the DC 1950's Comic Book "Tales from the Crypt", and the HBO television series from the 1980's- Moving along- "I'm stupid, I'm ugly, I'm dumb, I smell. Did I mention I'm stupid?" Eminem- aka- Marshall Mathers You ain't alone Marshall- Me too Marshall, me too- Read on if you want to get a glimpse of a past "real life" work schedule, and a cool experience- I saw an auction that caught my eye- I selected 56 lots total to view- From those 56 i screened in person I picked fourteen lots as potential money making candidates- None of the coins I was potentially purchasing originated from India so this is somewhat of a new risk experience for me- As a buyer I've had very little experience with these two countries, but I know what characteristics/aesthetics get my $'s, and attention in coin purchasing terms- Lot 1 : was ranked number 3, Lot 2: was ranked number 2, and Lot:6 was ranked number One. These rankings were based on a few metrics I use to make buying decisions- The lots that he won were ranked 7,4, and 9 respectively on my final rankings scale- Lot 1 : I won Lot 2: I won Lot 3 : He won Lot 4: He won Lot 5: He won Lot 6: I won Lot 6 was very interesting in the sense that the coins were described as business strikes, but 35.7% of the coins in the lot were PROOFS! I wrote my friend an email the night before the auction stating that, "I might have hit the MULTOJACKPOT, and hopefully nobody else viewed the lot. If they did then I am willing to pay 24 times the median estimate as a risk." My friend's reply, "if no one really knows you shouldnt have to pay 24 times the estimate or whatever...you should get a deal right?" My reply, "It's my ace in the hole I'm hoping, and no way I should pay that much. But I gladly would take the risk if I have to pay up." Now I'm uncertain if they are Specimens or Proofs, they certainly were not business strikes, I know there are differences, they may be presentation pieces, and I haven't really studied the subtleties- Ignorance is bliss f or me a t least at times- My competitor as well as myself were the only guys in the room that knew of this about Lot 6 I speculated once I realized we were gunning after the same stuff- Are we smarter than anyone one else? No- We just happen to look at the lot, and had similar ideas- At last that is my assumption as no bids were placed in the room, Internet, telephone, and book bids that exceeded any of our room bids- The phone bidder dropped out at 33% of the ... read more
