Message:: [QUOTE="LA_Geezer, post: 5369955, member: 89393"]I would feel guilty if I were to buy an 1869 for the $690 you paid for the one shown in post #5. I have one that nice that I was given as a gift, a raw example that I had certified with the assistance of yet another well-known, well-regarded member here. It's a 1909 that came back from NGC as an MS64 RD. So, I have what I sent for the certification and return postage in it; that one's hardly worth what C-B-D's 1869 is worth although there's no price I would take for my 1909 given what it means to me. Given my health and age, I cannot leave my wife with an ever-growing collection of Walkers, Peace and Morgan Dollars, Mercs, Wheaties and Franklins. I have an incomplete GWQ set, too, that I have abandoned, given the expense it would take to finish it. That 1869 would be nice to all but complete my set of Indians (there's no 1877 in it either), but I'd like to do so without wondering about the circumstances down the road a piece. Oh, and BTW, I would love to get that one at ebay for $100, but I see it's already higher than that.[/QUOTE]
