Well....If you were pullin' for me...Thanks.

Look that one up at numismedia. I'll bet it grades a 58 or better once I use acetone to melt away the cellophane tape residue.

All 3 top tier TPGs combined...haven't graded 100 business strikes of this coin. I know the collection it came from, and I know it's the real deal.

Yep.....That's me. The bid I placed was exactly the bid that won. I padded it a bit, but didn't need to go any further.

This is a very old Lexington/Concord area collection. I'd be willing to bet that there are more great coins in it. Really early stuff.

I have definitely gone goofy on the nickels. I sold the Seated Dollar last week, and did very well with that one.

I have wheaties....a whole bag full (16 plus rolls), over 2 rolls of Indians...and some nickels...not much in the silver department, though. I think it's gonna go through the roof next year and want to have a bunch on hand when it does.
