Message:: [QUOTE="Mike Thorne, post: 3271798, member: 56869"]A colleague and I bought quite a few GSA dollars in the second sale, I think. Anyway, we got all common dates except for an 1881-CC that NGC later graded MS64 when they started leaving the coins in the holders. My colleague and I sold all but two of the coins we got for a bit more than we paid. I kept the 81-CC and an 83-CC that I thought was something special grade-wise. I sent it to ANACS back when they were issuing photo certificates, and it came back 63/63 (they graded both sides separately). I sent it to NGC with the 81-CC, and it came back MS66 PL, which is about what I thought it was. I just recently sent it to CAC, but they didn't green bean it. One other coin I got from the sale was absolutely the worst Peace dollar (1922, I think) I've ever seen. Worn almost slick, but I only paid $4 for it, as I recall. I got rid of it as soon as I could, but now I wish I had kept it for the PCGS Low Ball Registry. Between you and me, I think the Low Ball Registry is a scheme to encourage submissions of junk. Or is that junque?[/QUOTE]
