Description: 2012-S SILVER Eagle PCGS PR70 REVERSE PROOF, First Strike SIGNED by John Mercanti; ONE coin Selling off my dad's estate. I am a big eBay Seller under another name with high ratings, but to sell my dad's estate stuff, I needed a new handle for tax purposes. I have to do a profit/loss statement on his items, as he was a hit and miss investor. Lamar died some years ago, almost one year after my mom's horrible death from Alzheimer's, and he left behind a 90-year collection of everything an engineer could ever want and keep, mostly coins and duck prints and golf clubs, oh my! He survived an abusive father and two wars, joining the Navy at age 17 to serve in WWII aboard a number of famous submarines in the Pacific theater (such as the USS Archerfish and the USS Baleo), and again in Korea before settling in Hawaii where my mom became a school teacher until she got pregnant with me. They both attended Compton College (where my grandpa, 'Pop' Powars, was a team coach) and then Lamar got his degree in engineering at USC. Lamar was a handsome, smart and strapping young veteran when he first spotted my gorgeous mom across Compton college campus after returning from the horrors of WWII. When he showed up at the annual Sadie Hawkins dance, my mom, the kind peace-keeper and beauty queen from a loving family, asked my dad to dance, and they never again parted until her death. They lived in the same house next to the Country Club in California for 45 years, which was stuffed full of treasures and junk. He was greatly impacted by the Great Depression, and so he hoarded anything deemed even remotely, possibly, potentially useful sometime in the next half century or so. He was one of the original 'Preppers,' always stockpiled with food and water, gold and silver, and hunting (50 guns) and fishing gear--well prepared for any possible Armageddon, which, of course, NEVER came. Now Lamar has passed on, joining my mom yet again, and some of his treasures are being sold on eBay by me, his first-born son. Ships from California via USPS priority mail or Ground Advantage, insured. I could include shipping in the price, but that punishes people who buy more than one item. NO returns, unless the item was not as described. I take Paypal or eBay.
