That’s amazing. Did the seller ever explain how they had come to own it?

Not really, although I got the impression that the seller was sort of a "picker", going around to yard sales, estate sales, etc, looking for anything of interest to re-sell. Their main area of knowledge seemed to be collectible vintage fishing lures.
Probably my 1868-S MS66 seated half in sheer $ terms. I bought it as a pop 11/1 coin and proved it was actually a pop 1/1 coin and got PCGS to update the POP report. Its in a mid 90's holder. The MS67 was a 66 and was cracked so many times as an MS66 that it inflated the POP that much. I had been looking for years for this coin and thought as a POP 11/1 it would be easy to find. When it came up in the Gardner collection I grabbed it.

The quarters, all three of them came from melt. The dime came from sorting 90%, sold the dime for 11k.
How was PCGS able to determine the date?!?!?!?I know the stars at the bottom of the reverse...but could mean its EITHER a 1916 OR 1917....Does 1916 have is OWN signature die markers?

This 1798/7 16-stars dime love token cost $2 back in the late '80's and closed at auction for about $160 a few years ago.
All these coins have at least quadrupled in value.
A MS63 Pan Pac off eBay raw - $195.
A PCGS XF45 1895-S dollar raw - $450.
A PCGS VF35 1914-D Lincoln cent raw - $95.
A PCGS XF40 1876-CC raw - $170.
PCGS F15 1856-S raw - $135.
