[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2299780, member: 13307"]Well. You know those sellers at a flea market who you [I]never[/I] shop...because they have everything so outrageously priced? Common IHC for $7. Bank roll quality Jefferson Nickels for $5. Random foreign silver for $50-100. Everything in a 2x2 marked as a KEY DATE. Well, today, I decided to just look at what he had, and I noticed this UGLY coin in a tiny box of mixed US coins. I could barely read the date...until I got the lighting angle [I]just right...[/I]and once I saw, I asked how much the coins were in that box. "$3 each, except the IHC, which I'll put in with the $7 coins, and the Mercury Dimes, which are $10" ($10 circulated 1940's Mercury Dimes? On what planet?) So I bought it immediately. Why, you may ask, did I pay $3 for the ugliest Liberty Nickel I've ever seen? [ATTACH=full]461945[/ATTACH] No, you gotta tilt it JUST right... [ATTACH=full]461944[/ATTACH] Yep, that's an 1886 (key.) So, my question to you is: Do you think it would grade PO1? And, if so, what do you think that would be worth to a lowball registry collector? I'll hang up and take your answers off the air.[/QUOTE]
