    1877 IHC, NGC XF-40. I have zero doubt about its authenticity and I wanted to put it in my album.

    If it is any consolation, I doubt that I'll ever crack out anything nearly as cool as that group.

    MS62 PCGS 1901-P Morgan... and I did it twice. Paid $3,900 for it.

    Third time was the charm. image
    When in doubt, don't.

    This thread is like asking who has run the fastest mile, and someone quickly saying they did it in 3:48. Pretty much kills the thread before it gets going. image

    Nope, but I got to play with them raw for a while. I still haven't fully recovered.

    OK, I connect doubloon with Spanish and old, but for us poor folks do you have pictures?

  • I cracked out a MS 1911 Lincoln. I paid $70 for it and now it is in my album.

    A MS66 rare date seated quarter. Not a big risk as the coin still sat in an old holder and was a good chance to upgrade. It went up on the first try. It was not a toned piece either which also made it a very minimal risk coin.
