1916 Standing Liberty quarter(s) would be a good one.

Re: What cards have you scored in March?
No real blockbusters but I grabbed the Gilliam at a good price and to me '53s look good even in lower grade. Stallcup was a two grade upgrade and CENTERED. Can pass that up.


Re: Do You Go Back To Closed Threads?
If there's a thread that I haven't been following and it gets the CLOSED in the red box, I may go through that thread to see what excitement or controversy that I missed. ![]()

...never understood why the makers of the Dansco 7070 album didn't include the $3 Princess Gold... Here's my $5 Liberty...

Re: What’s a coin you used to overlook but now appreciate, and why?
I used to be hardcore Peace Dollars and never saw the pull to Morgans. Then I realized all Peace Dollars look the same and at least with Morgans you have regular, PL, DMPL, Proof, etc.

Re: What’s a coin you used to overlook but now appreciate, and why?
I used to dismiss 1855/54 overdates after purchasing one with hardly any of the underdate showing. I thought they were a ridiculous minor overstrike. Then I happened to bring my Dansco home and looked at it briefly under a dissecting scope, my 1855 turned out to have a prominent 1855/1854 WB-1 overdate. "So, THIS is what the 1855/54 overdate is all about!"
.
In the next three years, I found a roll of them to generate extra cash for coin purchases. I still check for them when an 1855 comes up for auction. They have been a common and a lucrative cherry pick for me.
A 1855/54 in the 1855 normal date slot.
Led to an overdate blitz.
