Wow that's quite the story Tony! I understand what you mean about the strike quality. Found a 1924-D in a roll about a year ago. Was G6 or so and had a pathetically weak strike. Of course wear had done a good number to it, but in general you could tell it was probably a late die strike. But big congrats to you! You got it for a spectacular price, quite surprised no one attempted to outbid you. I understand the thing with sniping. When I first started out on ebay, I screwed myself over, as I was trying to snipe. As you know, ebay has a maximum bid that you place, and if no one tries to bid, the maximum bid will remain invisible. I didn't know this and tried to snipe on the last few seconds. Lost a couple good auctions by not understanding how the system worked. So far I haven't experienced any snipers besides the ones on my own auctions that I've created.
Sorry for my rant, anyway, huge congratulations! Let us know when you have it in hand!
