<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 391190, member: 8033&quot;]As some of you know I like &quot;sleeper&quot; coins.</p><p>So what do you all think of the 1927-D Standing Liberty Quarter? A highly popular series and this one has less than one million minted.</p><p>Only ones with lower mintages are the 1916 and 1927-S. Now I know that the pre-1925 design was notorious for the date wearing off. Still, third lowest mintage and VERY little respect.</p><p><br /></p><p>Case in point here. Today my boss bought a decent set of quarters. Barbers, Standing Liberties and Washingtons. He knows I like the 27S SLQ. Offered it to me for $30. A G4 coin that I feel was cleaned.</p><p>Turned it down as I have about 25 already and stopped buying them in the $10-12 range.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I inquired about the 27-D. I have but a few of those. The price was right so I bought it. Here&#039;s the coin in question.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/scan0018-1.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/scan0018-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/scan0018-1.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/scan0019-4.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/scan0019-4.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x275/clembo1872/scan0019-4.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Nothing fantastic but the date is full, the mintmark is strong and it looks original. Comsidering melt is at about $3 I happily dropped $5 for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I figure this may be my next &quot;sleeper&quot;. If I can nail these as they come in I will.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have at least 25 27-S now and would gladly sell them at $20-25 each in order to trade up to a higher end (XF or better) coin. Would probably have to throw in some cash as well but it would be worth it as I have $250 tops into my G-VG coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does the same possiblility work with the 27D? Don&#039;t really thinks so looking at the numbers but if one plays ones cards right there is the potential to gain some nice examples down the road by buying cheap now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>clembo[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
