<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1608125, member: 26302&quot;]Cool deal man. I actually saw this coin in the lot so bid knowing its a rarer coin. Still, I could justify the lot without it in it, so I did ok.</p><p><br /></p><p>$3? Try sitting on a ton of silver quarters bought for $.75. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Eh, all of us &quot;old timers&quot; have the same story, lol.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Btw, I think you see this a lot in 19th century coins, P mint coins being more available that you would think by their mintages. Collecting by mintmark did not really start until later, and most coin collectors were on the east coast, so all Philly issues had a certain amount saved regardless of mintage. This is why raw mintage numbers are a start, but not the answer to a collector of the period. Even that 69 S quarter I have, in lower grades the much lower mintage Philly 69 is more expensive, but move up into AU/BU and the S is much rarer. The collectors of the day simply saved the 69 close to them, so more BU 69 (P) exist than the higher mintage 69 S&#039;s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
