<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C-B-D, post: 3695131, member: 43130&quot;]During my trip to the 2019 ANA, I was going back and forth on shopping 1 more morning, rather than just hitting the road for home. I didn&#039;t have a lot of money left, but I decided to go that last morning just in case I happened upon a great deal. </p><p><br /></p><p>The first table I walk to had some nice slabbed type coins available. I asked about a seated dime in PCGS VF20 which had a sticker on it that said, &quot;Large O.&quot; I asked for a price and bought it because I liked it. I didn&#039;t know if it was a Large O or not or what that meant, but I bought anyway. A quick search on my phone didn&#039;t show much info on Large O varieties. After awhile I showed it to another dealer who specializes in seated material and he told me it was actually the Huge O variety, which is the best one. They have a typical weak date. He told me he figured it was worth $350 or so, and I was shocked and pleased.</p><p><br /></p><p>HOWEVER, after I got home and sent it to PCGS for variety attribution, I discovered that this exact coin had sold for $646 about 6 or 7 years ago thru Heritage. Additionally, there are only a handful of slabbed Huge O varieties and they have a history of going for big premiums. So somewhere along the line, the variety and the price/auction history got lost in translation. I&#039;m happy to have &quot;rediscovered&quot; it, and consider myself very lucky. Here&#039;s the coin. Be on the look out for the weak date and giant mintmark. They&#039;re pretty scarce.
