[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 24619518, member: 8959"]This is an experience I made buying a Bust dollar a long time go. In the early 80s my company sent me to visit our parent company in the US, in Michigan. While I was there I visited a local coin show held in a shopping mall. There were not many coins that interested me, but there was one dealer who had some of the older coins that I was looking for. I noticed he had this early dollar which I ended up buying it. Too eager, too young, bit naive maybe. I paid $275, a large amount for me at the time. I still have it and look at it every now and then as an example of what NOT to do in Numismatics. [ATTACH=full]1565311[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
