<p>[QUOTE="bqcoins, post: 1444996, member: 5036"]It's funny because I've been searching for them since probably the early 90's when I found them in the redbook and nary a one til March of this year when I found two in the scrap bucket, both a 42/1 and 42/1-D. the way I figured it happened is the dealer bought a complete set in an album, the album didn't have spots for them and they sat in the last few empty spaces that most albums have. the dealer popped the good dates and dumped the rest of the non-MS coins into his scrap bucket. Along I came and like always I ask how much for scrap, we agree on a X face amount and I pick. That way I can cherry pick on the cheap. I figured that is how it happened because I also pulled a 45 micro S. Those little beauties, which got turned in a week made the substantial down payment on my daughter's braces. This one, found in the same scrap bucket just a little more than two months later is going directly into my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
