    I suppose if you are old enough, or include inherited coins, or just stretch the point, every U.S. business strike coin was once 'bought' at face value, which was under $25. Right? :o

    This was by far my best sub $25.00 purchase. It is now in a PCGS XF40 holder and moved on to a new owner.

    Way too many to show.... been collecting for many, many years.... Lots of lovely coins for under $25.... When I lived out West, coin shows were plentiful, small and large. Always some good deals to be found. Cheers, RickO

    crossover from ANACS MS 66 to PCGS MS67, bought for $25 - "PCGS value $600"

    Nice job on the 1934 DDO, @Aspie_Rocco! I picked off one of those raw from ebay back in 2001 and paid $35 for it and then had it certified by PCGS as MS64 and sold it a month later for $1,700. The DDO was clearly visible in the ebay images, as well, but no one bid against me.

    That is one heck of a good cherry pick! Nice work.

    @Aspie_Rocco this S/D raw buff is sitting on a windowsill trying to tone 🤔
