Ever find something super addictive? I have never been a huge fan of Ebay, but there is a site specific to Virginia estate sales that has recently caught my fancy. My ex-sister-in-law got me hooked a few years ago but I never really looked too much at it until last week.
I am waiting on closing for a home equity refinance and part of my plan is to invest some of the cash out into crypto and other investments. As such I started looking for coins on the auction site.
Of course, the loan people are super slow to process everything, and I drank way too much wine tonight. Soooo, I'm on the hook for $136 worth of coins.
I guess I will use my Bitcoin holdings to pay for it all. Thankfully my Uphold account makes that pretty easy. (See my outro below for a link).
I can't complain though, I got some pretty cool deals.
I was looking for something older than the oldest thing in my house. Well, besides the native American potsherds. The oldest coin currently in my collection is a half dime from 1832. I would have a picture but my girlfriend has buried my coin folder under a giant pile of cosplay stuff. So you just have to take my word for it.
I was super excited to find large cents from the late 1790's. These are some of the first coins ever minted for the young United States. I bid on several of these and ended up in a last minute battle over this one:
However, there were other coin auctions ending sooner, so I ended up with a Morgan dollar and a couple early 1800's pennies as well.
Having looked up the average values of these, I'm pretty content with the results. It could be the wine speaking, we'll see how I feel tomorrow. And hopefully Monday the loan comes through and I can feed my addiction just a little more.
The coin addiction, not the wine one...
