Agreed. Likely a symptom of the lowball market hype and less about the origin as the opposite of the scarcity of MS67-69 true conditional...
PMD. Likely a 'dryer coin'. Got stuck in a clothes dryer and was 'beaten' into having a wider/deeper 'rim'.
Here are two from the giant weekly flea market from a couple weeks ago. $40 each: [IMG] [IMG]
Nice grabs of crown(ish) sized coins. I always like a nice 19th century French 5 franc. That 1833 is one of the types I don't have yet.
True, but a loaf of bread was like $0.50, so...
If that's a good representation...phew...chills. Just getting to look through it would be fun enough.

Then I plan to drive over to another of my LCSs and sell them for silver-20% and still make ~100% profit. ...so I got that going for me which is...
Well, apparently they bought them for ~$36 per set, so....
Bought today but probably doesn’t count as I got this Montreal Olympics set for only $40 from one of my LCSs: [ATTACH] This is currently ~$99 in...
I have little desire to buy 'expensive' coins even if I really enjoyed the coin. The only way I would/could spend at those levels would be if my...
I'm still focusing on buying non-US junk silver as the premiums are very small or zero as compared to the excessive ones I've seen for US junk...
VG at best. But it's fun to get 'keys' in this manner even if demand is pretty minimal.
Guess I hit a nerve. Interesting.
