I got this one today, I already have this type, but this was irresistible at the price and I thought it looks great!
It was sold by Blanchard in 1993, look how much it sold for!
The $10 liberty was only $40 more!
I got it today for $550 technically a little under it’s melt value. I couldn’t pass that up!
I also got the original receipt from 1993 and the Blanchard bag that it’s been in ever since!
If you have a $5 in an OGH, post it here!

$1300?! I thought the market had already crashed by ‘93?

$1300 in 1993 could buy me four (4) American Gold Eagles (today's price is $2320 per AGE).![:smile: :smile:](https://forums.collectors.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)

@asheland, wonderful that the whole package was kept together all these years. That was a buy it and forget about it. Congrats Terry. You sure do find a lot of interesting material to post!
Wasn't '93 that epic 'boiler room' year that saw any Saint selling for triple or quadruple melt ?
If it wasn't '93 , it has to be right around there. A crazy time.
The $10 that came with this? It did come in with this, but it sold to another customer.
I considered it, but it looked like it had some kind of weird white putty like residue in and around the devices and I didn’t like it at all, so I passed on it.
This one is completely different. This one has great skin and color.
