Beside my countless monsters I pulled from original 50's mint sets.....I also bought both of these raw on Ebay for very very cheap.......it really pays if you can judge AT vs NT as neither of these coins had bids except for mine...

1873 closed 3 seated quarter. This little gem was bought via ebay. It is worth 2-3 times what I paid. It has a pop 20 at both services according to heritage. I just submitted back in Septermber so now it should be pop 21. And an original mintage of 40,000. Edited to add it is now pcgs vf35.

I bought an 1844-O half dime that was raw off eBay for $502. I had it graded by NGC at XF45. That was a great hit!

Dizzy, I wholeheartedly approve of your new direction.

That's a nice CircCam half, too.
