Nor for me. I've made some decent buys and cleared a few bucks to play coin collection with, but no Big Free Lunch.

1916 D & 2 1941/2 Mercs out of Junk silver bags.

1938 D Walker out of Junk silver bag

A bunch of OBW rolls of 1940's & 50's Wheat Cents at face from the bank.

Cherry picked a 1857 PCGS (rattler) FE cent Clashed Die with 50 cent piece (S-9?)

Picked up a 1892s Barber Half G/VG 5 years ago for about $3.50 off a bid board...
Picked up a 09' SVDB Lincoln VF about 3 years ago for $300 at a local coin show, now a PCGS VF20...
Found a 09's Indian cent XF details (corroded) while working in construction 10 years ago...
Picked up a 75s Trade $ off a bid board last year for $175, now a PCGS MS63...
List goes on...

I paid good money for this one, but I still think it was a steal given it's rarity.

HK-223 in aluminum.

This one was a total surprise from a mis-attributed Stacks auction. This is HK-233 (AKA Eglit 506) but unreported by anybody in bronze.

Bought a 1918-S SLQ about 9 days ago.. at a local show.

Die clash on obverse, "E" clearly visible next to her right knee.

Polish lines through the "AME" in "America" on the reverse.

Weakness under Miss Liberty's right foot

the 8 in the date is, well, the upper hole in the "8" is triangular...

It was $15 VERY VERY VERY well spent

jonathanb · January 13, 2009 2:09PM

rld14, you cannot put up a post like that without pics!

I posted this cherry when I bought it off eBay in early December for $175. I've since sold it into the reference collection of a major seated dime collector for well over ten times that:

Last week I also scooped up this coin for a $150 Buy It Now. The seller listed it as a triple clip, two curved and one ragged. However, some obverse damage hid the true nature of the "ragged" clip, and looking at the reverse it is clear that it is actually two nearly overlapping curved clips, making this the first reported quad-clipped Sacagawea dollar:

I had a pretty good December.

Holy crap! I agree with jonathan, this is one we definitely need to see. I still find it just amazing that coins like this are out there to be cherrypicked, you would think that even a dealer who despises varieties would look for something like an 1918/7-S.

Here's my feeble donation to this thread...

Line # Item # Cert # PCGS No. CoinDate Denomination Variety Country Grade
1 1 13205494 393080 2008-W $25 Statue of Liberty US MS70
2 1 13205495 399936 2008-W $25 American Buffalo US PR70DC

It was simply a 2 coin submission. Got one of each during the Mint's 'fire sale', and basically wanted them in plastic. I THOUGHT the plat had a shot 70, but wasn't convinced the Buff would 70. I figured even at 69, they're both better off being in PCGS plastic (still have all mint packaging). So, it was a pleasant surprise to see them both 70, as I like the potential for each of these. These are getting tucked away until I see what these do in the next year. I think it could be a mistake to flip these just now. JMO

OK, I am justing waiting for my next grades to come in for a nice giveaway.This has ben a nice start for A New Year A $3.00 roll gives me 14- 1960-D/D DDO- RPM SM over LG, I did not think I would find one but to find 14, Then the Nickels.

Guys,

I can't take pics of the damned coin itself to save my life, let alone the details.

Anyone in the NYC area willing to take a pic of the coin? I'll gladly drive to you. I'm in Northern NJ.

WaterSport · January 13, 2009 11:20PM

I figured if it was a DDO, it was worth the price but was unsure about the MS condition due to a less than seller picture. Turns out, it IS mint state AND a DDO, just like he said and no one else bid? Crud spots came off in Acetone, it will be on a trip to PCGS very soon.

2 years ago I bought a very clean, nice looking, 1966 Kennedy half dollar for under $5 from a local dealer. It graded MS67 at PCGS. I sold it for around $2,700.

Forumite airplanenut used to be in your area, I don't know if he still is. He does take a mean picture, though. If you get desperate, I'm in southern CT, maybe we can meet up somewhere in between.

Wow, that's a nice pick. I can't wait to see what it grades.

I noticed that the coin was only listed in the Lincoln Cent category, and not in with the errors. That is one of my dirty little cherrypicking secrets - if you run a few well-crafted searches across multiple categories you can find some awesome bargains. Things like a Twenty Cent Piece listed as a seated quarter with a $9.99 Buy It Now.

I'm actually surprised I didn't see your 1925-S myself, as one of my regular searches is for FS designations across all categories.

Thanks Sean,

Worst case scenario there's always the weekend! Just spent another half hour comparing this to the other circ 18-S I have
