The Peace, Ike, and Franklin were sold to fund other coin pursuits.

A 1913 T2 Buff bought as a SEGS MS65 was actually a Matte Proof. I ended up selling this one too.

I've shared this recently but here it is again...
I bought this raw for $35 at a local shop a few years back just because it was so clean. At the time and in my mind that was expensive for a common date, raw quarter and considering I don't collect them per say... I just buy stuff that catches my eye a lot of times.
Fast forward to a couple months ago I finally got around to sending it in, I guess it was a steal after all.

Rejected once already.
It's probably getting cracked out and resubbed raw.

Bought for $10 and it was at the end of a bank wrapped roll. I was lucky to be able to buy it separately.
I "stole" this one in a SEGS MS65 slab back in 2006 for $100-
It's now in a PCGS PR65 slab.
The first one I called a steal. This one I'll call a deal. I got it for the price of a Mint state coin for $12 back in 2004. It's now in a PCGS PR66 slab.
And this one-a 1914 purchased for $55 back in 2007. It's a PCGS PR64 now. Another "deal."
Larry isn't the only one that has trouble with the buffalo matte proofs. My 1913 Var One was originally in an NGC MS65 slab. It's now in a PCGS PR65 slab.
Steal! 1 of 10,000. Numbered and both coins are spectacular. Won at auction $120
