<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 752660, member: 13650"]That was a good story. I'll give you credit on that one. I agree, many people simply have no idea about the significance of mintmarks or where to find them. This summer I went to an estate sale and a guy sold me 12 WLH's for $4 a piece. Even then, that was well under melt. One was a 1918-S. Albeit AG. I wasn't even interested in them and was going to leave them behind. I didn't come there for them but he came after me and practically wouldn't let me leave. Maybe because he thought I might be the only one by that would be interested? Who knows? But I wasn't about to pass them up for that. I still have them, with no intent on selling them anytime soon. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> No. You better re-read that and let it sink in.
