T205 GB:

The only 1909 T206 Magie Error card for sale at the moment on Ebay is for 7700$ in SGC 20 (1)...I do not find it to be attractive I would rather pay a little more and get say a PSA/BVG 2 with no stains on the front or back.

You asked me to give to you a loan, and time payment until june for a 800$ card... and now since two week, if all you said is true, you buy for arround
50 000$ of cards and now you want a Magie and a O'hara... LOL


Funny .....

As far as me spending money I sold a coin (for well over 200 000$) and will be paid by this Friday for it (to a close personal friend who must fly down to pick it up this week...he was extremely busy with family issues last week) so hence the wait for the 800$....no other reason. I use my other money (pay from work) for house payments, food and all sorts of other bills like 99% of people.

You should have simply asked in private I would have told you the same thing there instead of trying to make me look stupid here....Leon is well aware I sold a coin for over 200 000$. I was not in the mood to bring up the value of my coin here...but I guess you changed that.

Out of sheer idle curiosity, what particular coin was it?

[g_vezina_c55]

Hey Adrian.

I live alone and have all my bills to pay alone....my money was tied up in my coin collection (my parents died and I invested in ultra rare coins with the money from the insurance I got...did not want to pend it on crazier things...I did not pay much for the 1921 50 cent years ago) hence the sale of most of them....I am using the money for rarer cards and the rest to pay off my house if possible.

The 1921 50 cent is the most important circulated coin in Canada like your 1804 dollar in the U.S that sells for millions of dollars.

[g_vezina_c55]

Nice,
good luck in your magie purchase .

If you're still waiting on this coin windfall, have you actually paid for any of your card purchases yet?

[Zone91]

4815162342

No...all the dealers are aware of the situation and are completely fine with it (they have all seen my 100% positive feedback on Ebay)....they WILL all be paid no worries....I know my friend who purchased the coin he is a young millionaire and has more than enough funds to pay for the coin and he always wanted that specific coin for his collection. I will see him by no later than this Thursday.

I would have not done the same if it was not this specific friend...but I know him very well he ALWAYS pays.

[4815162342]

sigh...

Why do you say that?? I know my friend (we have been friends for a long time) he is a multi millionaire and when he says he wants some thing he does and ALWAYS pays. He simply needs to take a plane down and give me his certified check...not a big deal...like I said he had family issues last week his daughter was very sick....hence I had to wait till this week for him to come down!!!

What I am suppose to do his daughter comes 1st and I understand that....coins and cards are a far second compared to a child!!! What am I suppose to say who cares about your kid I need the cash right now to pay for some baseball cards...that is just not OK and totally against my way of thinking!!!

Buy what you like, but I will offer this one piece advice....

Better buying opportunities will exist, sooner or later, beyond the "buy it now" auctions on ebay.ca, if one has some patience.

[Zone91]

CW

I am starting to look closer to various auctions houses...you are correct better prices are to be had for sure.

The King of Canadian coins the 1921 50 cent graded mint state 65 by ICCS (value of 300 000$ to 350 000$...only 50 known in all grades and only 3-5 in mint state). The prince of Canadian coins is the 1921 nickel and the Emperor is the 1911 1$ with 2 in a museum and the other sold for 1.2$ million a few years ago to a friend of mine.

1921 fifty cents

During the early to mid-1920s, demand for 50-cent pieces was minimal. Only 28,000 pieces were issued between 1921 and 1929. When greater demand for the denomination arose in 1929, the Master of the Ottawa Mint decided to melt the stock of 1920 and 1921 coins. It amounted to a total of 480,392 coins. The decision was due to the belief that the public would suspect counterfeits if a large number of coins dated 1920 and 1921 were placed into circulation. It is believed that 75 or so of the 1921 coins have survived, mainly from sets that were sold at the time.[6] Long known as the "King of Canadian Coins", this piece brings a price commensurate with its rarity and reputation, with a high grade example (PCGS MS-66) having sold for US$227,546 (this price includes buyers premium but not the taxes) in a January 2010 Heritage Auction.[7] The highest graded specimen is graded by PCGS at MS-67 and sold (by Diverse Equities[8]) in the year 2000 to a private collector for the then sum of $400,000. Today this coin would most likely bring $1 million at an auction.

Condition rarity: Almost all examples are found in good to very good condition, which means in heavily circulated condition. Based on the ICCS report of 2012 only 1 has been graded in fine condition. A total of 0 have been graded in very fine and 0 in extra fine. There are also 6 known in AU condition. Only 3 mint state examples of the King of Canadian coins exist making it extremely elusive and desirable. On average a mint state example comes up for sale once every 10 years and draws a lot of attention from wealthy buyers.

Value (s) in very good (VG-8) and gem mint state (MS-65): As of 2012 the value is estimated at $45,000 in very good condition and is estimated at $250,000 to $350,000 in gem mint condition. These are average trends calculated by using prices sold in the past few years.

Why the fire sale? It seems (to me) that you left quite a bit of money on the table.

Because when a buyer actually has cash to pay you for that amount for a Canadian coin you have to jump (unlike the U.S coin market with a lot of millionaires here in Canada the market is very limited at the top of the food chain) on it....I do not want cash + trade so the cash sounded really good to me...I did not pay close to that years ago for it.

Most important I wanted to pay my house off and have no more mortgage. Live free and happy like they say.
