<p>[QUOTE="Casman, post: 3619278, member: 85295"]This was back during my Cherry Pickin days. At the time I was stuck in the house tied to an IV pole and had picked up the CPG. I'd just sold my first Cherry Pick of the 53 Proof RTF Quarter for a record of $3,549, (Pop then was 4 in 66 with 1 finer),when I spotted another one from Mr. Envelope. That coin albeit in transit for two weeks traveling the Globe and run over by a hi-lo looked real good. It came back 67, and I let it go in a best offer at $3,500. Shortly thereafter, picked another from JT for a buyitnow at $28. Made another 67. Continued on with several more and sold my last 67 a few years later at $1,025. I'd sold by that point several lower grade examples and also found one with strong potential for a 68...until I dropped it. So that's the lengthy backstory. I blocked the guy from bidding on my stuff as he seemed really mad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
