<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beefer518, post: 2903405, member: 87737&quot;]I&#039;ll give you more than one....</p><p><br /></p><p>Most recently I was not paying attention to an online auction, and just had it and the barker in the background. I have an affinty for cheap Trade dollars, and I hear there&#039;s an 1875 on the block. I look quickly at the auction, and can see it&#039;s been cleaned, but it&#039;s around AU. I keep doing what I&#039;m doing, and half-heartedly listen to the auction. It&#039;s going CHEAP. I double check the guides, and I put a value of about $500-700 on the coin. It&#039;s still stupid cheap. I jump in, and (fortunately) the other bidder backed off at a number that was a lot less then I was willing to go. While I&#039;m not thrilled to have a harshly cleaned 1875 Trade, i&#039;m ok with the price when the hammer came down. Only afterwards did I realize it was an 1875-S, worth maybe what I paid. Talk about a buzzkill. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Same scenario - listen to the auction, but not paying close attention because what I&#039;m waiting for is way down the catalog. A &#039;55 Franklin is on the block. Whoopie. Again, it&#039;s going cheap (it was around $12 at the &#039;going twice&#039;), and I hear &quot;Bugs Bunny&quot;. I already had 3 Bugs Bunny Franklins, but in MS for $12 or so, I&#039;ll bid. Ended up buying it for $24. Then I see that this one is not a Bugs Bunny, but the barker was referencing how the &#039;55&#039;s are known for the Bugs Bunny. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure there are more, but those 2 quickly came to mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, price on the Trade dollar? You tell me. I have it going as a guess the price in the <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-details-discount-thread.301855/page-30#post-2903379" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-details-discount-thread.301855/page-30#post-2903379">Details discount thread</a>.
