Sometimes cool things come in bad packages, plus cool Jeff error

Both of these coins came from NTC ( 
) holders. But the person selling them had them discounted and the colors were great. The washington NTC graded 64 (it's not) and the merc they had as 66fb (I can deal with that). But I'm glad I actually spent a moment looking at the coins instead of the holders. They really are attractive, even moreso in person than in pic.
The jefferson cost me about a dollar or so. Been rounding up superb examples really cheap. And an error collector next to me spotted it right after I snagged it. I have good reflexes.
And, all my purchases were less than I had money for so I get to walk away with some extra money! The only thing I wish I could have found was more good darkside stuff. But have to wait for Knoxville's bigger show in Feb for that.

You know what they say, buy the coin, not the holder
