Default My first cherrypick and some gold

I went to a coin show in Salem on Saturday and was browsing a collection of barber dimes when I come across a 1905-O in VG, I fliped it over to look at the mint mark and sure enough it's the "micro o" variety.

I've been going to coin shows for years and I've never run across an un-attributed variety like this, neadless to say I couldnt pay fast enough.

And if that wasnt cool enough, last night I got a call from one of the organizers of the event, I won the grand prize in the raffle.
A 1/10oz Canadian gold coin!

Congrats on both of your scores!! I just looked up the 1905 Micro O! Very well done. Good job on the gold also, Beale.
