Excellent find, and well picked I might say. How reasonable was it?

$75, that is indeed quite the coup, well played sir. And that coin is, IMO, around VF.

Oh, I think I might qualify with numbers but far from knowledge, just not ready to join a club. Besides I like my freedom. : ) Actually I might jump towards that later this year, There are a few that need to be upgraded, and I want to complete a few of they year sets before I do it. Personal goals, you know how that goes.

Thanks guys, I really like the hunt with these BHD's. Fits right in with my other passion, Large Cents. Varieties galore.

Jim:
Did you see the article in Coin World this week, January 12, 2009, about the large cent errors?

Interesting read.

Frank, I did read that, I vaguely remember that auction. Great article and some useful information. I like the Weak Strike remark.. that was classic.

It looks like a dot in the middle of the L in PLURIBUS. The pictures are not big enough to see it good, but I can make it out.
