    The 19 S Saga:

    Bought this 63 but didn't like the strike-through error on the reverse and the poor luster. Sold it.


    Bought this 64 that was originally for sale on the Stack's Bowers website for a lot more than I thought it was worth. When it didn't sell and they auctioned it off, I won it for significantly less. I didn't like the lackluster surfaces or residue and also found out that used to be a 63, so I sold it to a dealer for a slight profit and it eventually wound up in a top-ranking NGC registry set for much more.


    Ended up with this 64 that's been in my set since 2012. I picked it up for $1,500 less than it sold for in 2006. I have only seen one 64 that would rival it since then.


    It was a fun and a hectic learning experience for me. :smile:

    Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍
