<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steve E, post: 50044, member: 2147&quot;]I had a friend drop by the office today with a box full of coins he wanted me to evaluate.&nbsp; I had to laugh because there smack dab on top was one of those darn Golden Ike dollars that caused such a stir on the forums a while back.&nbsp; Nice and pretty in its plastic holder with the words;</p><p><br /></p><p>Dwight D. Eisenhower</p><p>1890-1969</p><p>Memorial Dollar</p><p><br /></p><p>Guy handed it to me, and told me to give him a buck and it was mine.&nbsp; Then another, more exciting coin lay underneath it.&nbsp; Just thrown in with all the misc. silver and copper was the nicest 1865s Twenty Cent piece I had ever seen.&nbsp; I have checked it with every grading book I own and they all tell me the same....UNC!&nbsp; I just can&#039;t find any wear on the coin, the reverse is just absolutely beautiful with not a mark or rub on the breast or wingtips.&nbsp; And the nicest full LIBERTY you could ever want.&nbsp; To add to its beauty it has beautiful light rainbow toning obv &amp; rev.&nbsp; I told the seller this baby needed to get slabbed and not be in a hurry to sell it, we will see.&nbsp; An added treat was that right next to the 20c was a 1866s Seated Liberty quarter in the same or better condition with the same toning.&nbsp; Sort of like a matched pair.&nbsp; After that discovery the rest was pretty boring and common.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was a pretty fun way to spend the afternoon and for my trouble he sold&nbsp; me a 1968, &#039;71, &#039;72 proof sets for $10 and threw in a 1966 special mint set for free, all still unopened in their original packaging.&nbsp; Oh, by the way the Kennedy in the &#039;66 set has the nicest doubled profile you ever saw. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
