Frank Gasparro plaque of coins

[onecent1909]

On Tuesday night I went to my local coin club meeting where there was a auction like each meeting
But I found something I wanted..
a signed presentation"plaque" of a cent,half,Ike dollar, and SBA dollar

I had the bid up to $45 and got out bid
The winner had a friend who had been looking for one. He said he would have paid $200.00
I took some pics
It will be going to North Carolina soon to it's new home
it was signed by Mr Gasparro
and was number 60 out of 1000
it had a proof 1959 cent, a proof 1964 half, a proof 1971 Ike dollar and a proof 1979 SBA dollar
NOTE: some of the pics are blurry but they are all I have so I am putting them on here

I will search for one of these till the end of time and if I ever find one I will get it.

The coins are just standard coins, but it is his autograph that I want.
so far I have the man that engraved the back of the current $10 bill and the current treasurer Rosa Rios
and a few Coin books Autos

Nice... To bad you didn't have $210.00 to out bid with

[onecent1909]

I had $75 total... Ohhh well

A neat novelty piece, but you did well to pass at that price in my opinion. Besides, the cent is really askew in the holder. Another slap in the face to us cent-lovers. I'm good at making people people feel better, right?

[onecent1909]

Yes Will... I feel much better.... HOWEVER...
The holder was a capital plastic holder so it could be unscrewed and the cent re-positioned and the half was an accented hair proof.
With that... I still did not want to spend to much.. summer FUN show is on the horizon .... still wish I would have won.
