And that was my thinking when I saw that reverse 37 years ago. How often does one get a nice heraldic eagle reverse on a dime for $2?
No matter what year it is, I'd still call it a 3 digit piece. On an 1800, one of the more common dates, but even then, you cut FR-2 wholesale bid in half and you have $275. The fact that $2 bought you a Draped Bust coin still blows my mind. I haven't even gotten a Capped Bust for that!
I bought another lot of Jefferson Nickels from the guy who sold me the 1945-D partial roll. This time it was 36 nickels from 1977-1979 for $11 which equals 30 cents per nickel, and I found this. The 77-D is a $25 coin in MS65FS, but jumps over $100 in MS66FS. I am going to gamble my profit by spending it on the grading fee try to get an MS66 5FS out of NGC. Wish me luck!
