<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 26679270, member: 25270"]When I go to my LCS I go through world coin bins and basically buy everything that looks promising and plan to look at it more closely later when I get home. I'm usually looking for things I can resell at a profit and also things I don't have yet for my collection, but at this point it mostly things to resell. That being the case, I saw this 1905 Mexican 1 centavo and figured I could get a few bucks for it and threw it in the pile. My eyes not being what they used to be, I didn't note the mintmark but assumed it was M, as C is much less common. I finally got around to looking at it and saw it was a C, so that's cool. Then I looked it up and found it's the best date in this part of the series. The only one for sale on eBay (which is nicer than mine) is listed for $765. That's probably high but either way I'm feeling good about this one. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1702350[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1702351[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
