    I don't know if this is deserving of a you suck, but I picked this up on the bay for I think 12 bucks. It was listed as an unc. with poor photos. How often do you get an proof Indian Head for 12 bucks?

    I picked up a 1971 proof set for $5 with my icon coin in it. Graded PCGS PR69Dcam. Wish that dealer had more.

    I bought this 1844-O overdate for $35 and it can likely get about $800-1000 for it. I got a "You Suck" from everyone a couple months ago. I'm not planning on selling it soon. image

    Sorry - not a coin, but.... I got this at the treasury for $60? Then noticed a couple of years ago the error on it. I have been offered $1500 for it!

    Check the S/N's on notes 1 and the one to the right of it. This sheet is known and the "I-1A" error.

    Picked this up for $65 on the bay 6 months ago or so. Anyone know why it's a YOU SUCK candidate? PCGS did (and on the first try to image)

    For the non-CBH people out there, this is the O-121, arguably the toughest Capped Bust half of the 1830's, currently an R-5+.
    Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!

    Sorry, no photo; but the true story is this:

    There's only one year in which I ever got a hankering to purchase from the Mint any of the silver proof sets. I acted on the impulse, and the year was 1999.

    Never even thought about buying any before that, and haven't given serious thought to buying any since.

    Bought it raw for $40; beautiful delicate pastel toning on the reverse was so nice that I asked PCGS to holder it with the reverse side facing out.

    I saw this on a bidboard and bought it for 8 bucks. It was not until I got it home and really took a good look at it that I realized how bad it was. I deserve a "you sucked, big time" for my powers of observation and cherry-picking skills. What was I thinking?

    I paid $80 for this raw at Long Beach in 1990. The label came that way from PCGS.
