Man, where was I when these went down? Only $8 for a major rarity like this? I'll bet the D. Carr '64 Frankies go for more than those!!!!
That coin, if it had a date, could be upwards of $75-$100, or more. I bought one from TeleTrade for $21, 6 months later, fetched over $100 on ebay...
I agree on both counts. I don't see how the second one could be anything but PMD.
Hobo...I had to Google that word (not that I didn't believe it existed, or your definition), as I had NEVER heard of it, nor SEEN it....lol...
"Collect what you like" First rule of thumb in collecting ANYTHING. Though, a little 'homework' before shelling out $$ is always a good idea.

It could be true, at times, though I have seen NGC coins actually come back graded higher....so, it's not that they 'won't', or 'don't'......they...
I'll bet it wasn't your usual carrier. Majority of mistakes like this are from carriers that are temps, or covering the route (or possible, temp...
Wonder how many of those it would take to make a call today?
Perfect post....though, not just history, ancient history......real history.
This is really the basic philosophy of collecting anything. Though, congrats are in order for realizing, and admitting, you simply had a hoard,...
Brst advice I could think of, seeing how many you have. Too time consuming.
Sage advice.
