<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kanga, post: 684486, member: 9270&quot;]A mildly interesting side story.</p><p>When I was still looking for gold dollar coins for my type set I spotted one at a middle-sized coin show.</p><p>It was sitting there all alone; obviously it wasn&#039;t part of the dealer&#039;s main sales line.</p><p>It was an 1862 in NGC AU-58, perfect for what I was after.</p><p>So I whipped out my greysheet and asked the dealer the price.</p><p>His quote was right at CDN Bid.</p><p>I&#039;m guessing(?) he was ready to get rid of it as it was probably tying up some of his assets that he would want to use elsewhere.</p><p>It was an easy buy for me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Got it home and showed it off in another chatroom.</p><p>One of the people in there told me to check my Breen&#039;s Encyclopedia because there were three DD&#039;s for that date, two DDR&#039;s and one DDO.</p><p>Nope, not either of the DDR&#039;s.</p><p><b>YES</b>, it was the DDO!</p><p>Shipped it back to NGC for attribution.</p><p>Using Google, I could only one sales record.</p><p>Turns out it&#039;s worth about 50% more.</p><p>Not a lot but enough to pay for having it attributed with something left over.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nope, it wasn&#039;t a cherrypick.</p><p>Cherrypicking means knowing something the dealer didn&#039;t.</p><p>In this case I just lucked out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
