<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Thorne, post: 7837610, member: 56869&quot;]I found one in my wife&#039;s purse in 1984 when they were first publicized. The word was that some had been found in Jackson, Miss., which is not far from where we live. Anyway, I sent it to a certification service, PCI I think, back when PCI was a legitimate service. Back it came graded MS64 Red. Anyway, I kept it for years before deciding to part with it. I took it to a big summer ANA convention and no one was interested. I finally talked to an error dealer, and he told me to watch for bubbles in the copper coating, that it was a sign that it was developing a major problem. I used my loupe, saw the bubbles on the obverse, and decided it was time to let it go for sure. I offered it to some guys at SilverTowne, and they said they would give me $10 for it, which was a small fraction of its Greysheet value at the time ($200, maybe?). I got them up to $65, took the offer and never looked back. Be glad you&#039;re in it for 1c like I was.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
