$5 Liberty NEWP ~ 1885-S OGH

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!

Indeed! I had to keep that stuff with the coin. It’s very cool. 👍

$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).

My first thought was the same!
4 ounces of gold or this…

@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.
