Message:: [QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 443171, member: 13307"]In addition to the 1950S and 1958S Roosevelts that I got for 40 cents apiece, I got this beauty at the Flea Market today. The color is a bit off, suggesting it has been lightly cleaned, but the details are all there and there are only a few distracting marks on this coin. It was in a box of random junk...I asked the vendor what his price would be for it...and after he said he had no idea what he'd charge for it, I asked if he'd take $1 for it and he said sure... I knew it'd be worth more than that...but this coin is (IMO) around an XF/AU (book price $19/$40.) Good gracious... And yes, I did get a Jerry Rice RC for 5 cents about 15 years ago, along with a stack of football cards (including a Steve Young RC, Bruce Smith RC, etc.) that I then foolishly proceeded to trade a VERY happy dealer for a handful of packs of basketball cards. First lesson in KEEPING THE GOOD STUFF YOU GET and not trading it in for what's popular at the time... What would everyone grade this (of course, without the coin in hand it's hard but guesses are always welcome.) I'd also like to say that I FINALLY found an XF/AU Buffalo from 1927 for my grandmother's Christmas present...after 6 months of searching for one at local dealers...got it for $9.90...all I had left on me (it was priced $12.50.)  Hooray for a good Sunday afternoon...[/QUOTE]
