I've posted this coin in a couple other threads recently but this one is by far my best ever purchase. I got it raw from a LCS that bought a...
Father time will ensure that new eyes look at all of these coins in the future. If we could remove all of the beans from existing slabs I wonder...

Thanks for taking the time to detail the history and show some comparisons.
Nice idea! I want to put together a birth year type set for my son starting with my great grandparents birth years. That would mean starting...

At least the high bid is only $15.
I read the thread title and was expecting a Chevy or a Ford.
Overpaying for a coin with $30 is a whole lot easier to swallow than paying $3000 for a $2000 coin. I think all of us have "overpaid" for a coin...
Chew on that!
She must have been really old!
It's kinda like changing a dirty diaper.
