<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MIGuy, post: 8552377, member: 116145&quot;]That&#039;s an interesting question - Never Say Never!&nbsp; I didn&#039;t think I&#039;d ever get a 1916 SLQ or 18/7-S overdate, but I found a 1916 (FR02 Damaged) in the wild (large consignment store lot of silver quarters - Barber and SLQ) and then saved up / got a promotion and found an NGC 18/7-S overdate recently that sold relatively low at auction (still the most expensive coin I&#039;ve bought) (holed / cleaned VF Details) and the 1923-S wasn&#039;t that bad, though at the time, a few years back, it was the most expensive coin I&#039;d ever bought at a bit less than $500, mine is actually pretty nice looking but it&#039;s VF30 Corroded, Cleaned.&nbsp; I guess the key for me in not thinking the things I want are out of reach is that I don&#039;t aspire too high.&nbsp; I don&#039;t collect gold coins (love &#039;em and have a few, but can&#039;t afford a collection) or other rarities but sometimes on the ones you have listed you can get lucky if you keep your eyes open and keep some funds saved and in reserve for such a day - and go through a lot of raw coins, lol.&nbsp; Key for me - my kids are grown up and I have a decent job and most importantly, I&#039;m happy with Details coins - I mean I prefer MS straight graded (right?&nbsp; Who doesn&#039;t?) but I&#039;m just happy to have rare coins that I wouldn&#039;t otherwise be able to afford in my collection.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Edit, on further consideration, I have been putting together a low grade Capped Bust Half Dollar collection and don&#039;t think I&#039;ll likely ever get an 1836 Reeded Edge (mintage 1200) or an 1838-O (mintage 20) so I guess those would qualify.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
