I think you just won the "best cherrypick" award for this thread.

 

Beats mine for sure and that's sayin something!

 

I'm getting dizzy looking at that obverse.

 

AND, it's the only hobby that after you spend all your money, you still have some.

 

$42.00

 

Good deal

 

I like this thread. Unfortunately, none of my pickups were under $50 this year. You guys got some nice deals.

 

I bought very little under $50. This was $50 raw before slabbing

 

Wow, that's a beautiful halfie. Would kill for one like that.

 

1982 SEVEN DIFFERENT LINCOLN CENTS IN ONE YEAR, 3 sets for $15.00

 

Bought a real nice toned 1892 barber dime in au for $50 the other day. I'd say au -55

 

You will all probably hate me but I can't say I'm unhappy! But so I don't rub any more salt in, lets just keep it at under $50... for all 4, 1st issue uncirculated malta 1972 gold commemorative coins.

Of course, I will never again have such good luck but it was a fun stumble and I am guessing I will never be teased for purchasing a lot of crap jewelry again or for digging thru boxes at an estate sale again!

 

Maybe I need to post my 1872 ddo seated half dime I picked off the bay for $17.00

 

Every time I see one of these And the dollar I laugh , not because of what people pay for these but a story about them.
I work in the food business ,while in a food store break room one day having a working lunch I saw a sticker on a locker. The sticker was an add to promote this program of placing a penny or dollar into boxes of Cherrios.
Well to say the least one of the guys at this meeting asked me what I was talking about.....so I told him.
He begins to tell me that as a kid in 2000 he ate Cherrios morning noon and night.
Then goes on to tell me he had founded several dollars and a lot more of the pennies .
Then I asked him Ed what ever did you do with them....?
I bought "ice cream" of course his reply.
Now he knew I was a collector and said oh they couldn't be worth that much......you collect old coins.
Then I told him...... he was like what??????

 

$44

 

very neat buy

 

Thanks Frank , I truly couldn't believe my eyes ,as this one is right in your face. To think the seller had no clue ,and he sells quite a few coins. I was in disbelief .
