<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 595494, member: 12965&quot;]Here&#039;s my latest great pickup:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&amp;item=280343424191" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&amp;item=280343424191" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&amp;item=280343424191</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They are:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1786 M5.6-M Connecticut (R-5+):</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/8872/003jzp.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/5695/004sos.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The weakness of the bust is normal for these so this should grade at least corroded Fine.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1800 S-201 (R-4+):</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/6937/001dda.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/4317/002fzm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The worn reverse is from a die bulge and the obverse die was damaged so the weakness on the bottom left of the bust is also normal, so this one should also grade corroded Fine.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The other two are a 1803 S-253 (R-2) &amp; 1807 S-276 (R-1), which I also needed for my DBC collection so I ended up needing all four and that made the group even better.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I bought the group for the Connecticut alone and it&#039;s worth more than I paid, but the S-201 ended up being almost as good, if not as good or better than the Connecticut so I made out big-time!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Also, I had asked the seller for better pics of the Connecticut so I knew what it was when I bid but I didn&#039;t ask for pics of the DBC&#039;s, so I was hopping all over the place yesterday when I attributed the 201, since that one is so difficult to find and when it is found, it goes for quite a bit more than I paid for the entire group.&nbsp; :goofer:&nbsp; So this group has become one of my best purchases on Ebay!&nbsp; :thumb:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: I&#039;ve had one more group of coins that beat this group but the seller lost the package so I never got them.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
