My "free" 1842 Dollar

I buy quite a few bulk auction lots from one of the major auction houses. I always stay with what I know and what I think I can sell and make a few bucks. Last year when I picked up some of my winning lots, this coin was in the box with several GSA dollars. I'd swear the coin was not in there when I looked at the lot, and I did not factor in a few hundred bucks for, but I won the lot anyway. I told the auction house that I didn't think it belonged with the lot. They checked around and nobody seemed to be missing a coin, so I wound up with it. It was raw when I got it. So in my mind, it was free!

I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.
