Message:: [QUOTE="nuMRmatist, post: 1261726, member: 33012"]A quarter, huh? You send me every one you have, and I'll give you a quarter (or more) if you want. The first one was discovered by a friend of mine, who lived around the corner from me. Gary Gasparini is his name. It was photo'd, and made cover of Coin World Oct '89. Harry Foreman dealer was paying $75 a piece in Nov. '89 (see ad). By Dec. '89, he was paying $150 a piece (see ad that month), because of rarity. Had Gore invented the internet in '89, they would have gone to $1,000+. I have 17 of them, most BU/AU, and I got them all within a few months of Oct. '89. I have about a dozen more with shadow P, also BU/AU. I think no one in the world  has more. Since I have so many, and got them all in '89 and '90, I reasoned thusly: they went from the mint, to Fed Res Bank in Richmond, and from there, most went to Greenville NC, where the first was found, and where I was working at a laundromat (quarters by the thousands), most directly from the bank, in new rolls. Do your homework before you post. Of course, in the case of this coin, the web won't tell you as much as I can[/QUOTE]
