Some nice scores from the BM shop today and your thoughts on a purchase.

went up there to pick up a rare Texas county script note and they had just got done cracking some PCI slabs. They know I collect varieties so I asked to see, they has a 55 DDO that was in a 63 RB PCI holder they cracked( it was AU-55-58) and a 72 DDO Die #1 in a 64 RD holder. The coin was a 64 RB, but to play it safe I said 62 RB, I offered $200, sold!

Then a 1997 SMS 5c in a 69 PCI holder, they had not cracked yet, I offered $100, sold!

Then I asked about the 3 Henning Jeffersons they have had forever, but never wanted to sell. I told them I was moving soon and asked if I could finally purchase them, I offered $20 each and got all 3. Along with some 90% and 40% and the rare Texas script, I would say I did fairly well.

They also has a PCGS MS-65 RD 72 DDO I could get for $550, but am debating on, your thoughts??

    That seems like a great price if its full red.

    The $200 coin was a 72 DDO 64 RB.

    The PCGS coin is fully red, I don't know what these are really trading for, I had sold my last MS-66 RD PCGS coin a few yeards ago(maybe 3-4) for $950 or so on flea bay.

    So, did you buy the 55 DDO? I agree, $550 seems like a good deal for the 72.

    I agree - $550's a good price if it's full red and no carbon or other spots. If you don't want it, hook me up.

    They wanted $1700 for the 55 DDO and the color seemed a little off. Grade wise it was a AU-58, not sure how low they would go on it. I don't trust anything that came out of a PCI holder. The 72 DDO's I know well enough and it had original skin.

    Picked up the 72 DDO in an old holder, solid 65 fully red.
