<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 269365, member: 4552"]As usual on a Sunday I went to a coin show. Last Sunday a dealer I've delt with many times showed me a late acquisition of his and it was a 1955Lincoln Cent Double Die in about MS-60 or -62. Naturally pending on who says what. Didn't have the money at the last show so he said he'ld save it for me for this show. He did, I bought it. A close inpection looked like cleaned some time ago. He lowered the price a little more when I pointed that out. Hate to mention paying this much for a coin but it ended up at $1,300. I've purchased cars for less than for this coin. I have a few of them now but not in this grade. If the photo comes out, here is what it looks like:</p><p><img src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee219/carlagain/0003.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The reverse is actually much bette. </p><p>Also, purchased a lot of other coins. One of those days when you get home you look into a mirror and say "what an idiot. You just spent a lot of money for some old coins" Oh well there was no answer from the mirror so I guess everything is OK.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
