[QUOTE="totally, post: 2813807, member: 80371"]Hi All, I have been looking for an 1876 Philadelphia $0.20 piece that I thought was original and not over-priced in a circulated grade for quite a while and I finally found this guy and won the eBay auction. They are pretty hard to find. Original mintage was only 14,000 and there are a lot of problem coins. Coin is not quite perfect. But this is a hard date. And beggars can't be choosers. $377 was the approximate price out the door. PCGS VF 25. I like this grade because I have a 1875 Philadelphia (another hard date but not quite as hard) $0.20 in a PCGS VF 25 holder too. How do you think I did? Could I have done better? It was an auction that started at $5. Seller originally was asking $460 and no one bit, so he put it to auction. The underbidder was only $1.20 under my final price. (1.jpg and 2.jpg are the 2 seller photos cropped - I tried to take quick pictures myself and they look horrible but I included 2 anyways and they are the photo_.jpg. Seller's photos are pretty representative of the coin.) Cheers, Totally[/QUOTE]
