I dumped a ton of "slicks" in the past for melt. To me, that's all they were worth. I don't understand the appeal of finding and spending a premium plus grading fees on what I consider junk, but that's just my opinion and my collecting objectives. Others see beauty in lowballs or collect them on a lark. To each their own. I just don't get it.

On the flip side some folks rave about MS-69/70 and justify paying a 10x premium over a 67 or 68 for them. That end of the spectrum never appealed to me.
The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin
@Zoins Halloween is coming so it's appropriate that you should show a coin with two ghosts on one side and their ghost ship on the other side. Very cool coin.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Yea, that one is pretty cool looking, unlike a Kennedy in the same grade.

Kennedys are my quest...
I agree with that statement as well.
