    New alias since i'm locked out of my hookedoncoins accountimage
  • hard to say what one would consider best, so i'll do best pricewise and best on the fact that I like it

    pricewise
    1948 50c FBL AU-UNC (not sure, it's not actually mine, I collect the paper, my moms bf likes the coins)
    1977A $5 Boston * in GEM

    ones I like
    Unknown year barber half, sliced in two, turned around and welded back together (again, not mine, but its very neat)
    1934 $20 Minneapolis F-VF, but I think it's neat

    Best coin Find: 1971 S Ike Dollar DDO FS-15.8 ANACS PR67 CAM - This is the KEY error and most dramatic Double Die in the series. It will most likely upgrade to a PR68CAM.

    Best Paper Find: Crisp UNC Series 2001 $50 Note SERIAL# CB 16561656 A - I was a Pay Agent in Iraq and held at least $100,000 US per week of Saddams captured money which was to pay for rebuilding the basic infrastructure of towns in my area of operation. Yes, I replaced it with my own money...I was responsible for every cent. Believe me, I was looking for star, repeaters, errors, ect in all that available money! image

    Best coin find, from a roll, was a 1932-D quarter in VG. This was many years ago.

    In all my years of collecting I have NEVER found a piece of paper money in circulation that would bring a premium over face.
    All glory is fleeting.
  • best coin find was an MS 62-62 1963 washington
    Papper find was 1950 A series $5 star note
