[QUOTE="kanga, post: 790038, member: 9270"]Actually two. I bought a slabbed 1862 $1 gold that turned out to be the DDO variety. Breen 6074 or VP-001 (I don't know that reference). Only record of value I could find was a sale for about 50% more than a normal 1862. Thanks goes out to a friend who suggested I look in Breen's encyclopedia. I bought a slabbed 1858 FE. Turned out to be a 1858/7. That jumped the price about 5x-7x. Thanks goes out to the Cherrypickers' Guide that I bought a year or two later.[/QUOTE]
