Attitude Adjustment Coin Post

Have a glass or bottle of your favorite beverage....maybe two, but no more. That would be asking for more trouble. 
Then post a coin that you made yourself, along with the story. Good results and bad.

Here's mine. Bought it raw as an XF-45 for $30. I always thought AU-50 or even 53 were possible, giving it a CDN value of $200 or so.
Sent it to ANACS, and they blessed it with an AU-58! (Not that I agree with them.)

I bought this one from one of his ebay auctions for $45. Looked good to me so I sent it to PCGS
for there blessing.
PCGS blessed it with the ultimate grade and a pop 1 was born and remains pop 1 today.

Results?
NGC AU-58 (I think it's XF-45...nice Pick-Axe [Snow-7], by the way). Bought it raw as an XF from JJ Teaparty:
MS-62? I think it's AU-55 or 58. Bought from Heritage as an NGC AU-55 originally, and I cracked it out years ago and decied to resubmit on a whim:
MS-61? Nope, should be 58. Bought as an AU-55 on eBay for AU-50 money:
XF-45? Possibly 40, arguably a VF-35 by Fly-In standards. Bought as VF-35 from JJ Teaparty:
These were all helped by being superior eye appeal coins for the technical grade, I think...but I think they all got a "market-grade" boost.
BTW: Nick, You Suck!!!
Pulled this one from a broken mint set from ebay. Took 7 tries but I believed.
Pulled this one from an album and sent it to NGC. Came back MS68 first shot and crossed on the 3rd try.
Its still a pop 1 today.
<< <i>Now, you see it; now, you don't. >>
Yep....and the wonderful pics got to stay!!!!!!!!
<< <i>I bought this Franklin half dollar for $12.00 from a dealer as part of a proof set. The dealer hates "modern crap".
