Did I get lucky?  Sure I did.  However, the nice thing about these cool little coins is that they're quite readily available - even in high grade - for not very much.  (Though I haven't often seen toners like the ones above.)  Even a PCGS- or NGC-certified Mint State piece will only cost you in the low- to mid-$100s, usually.  Typical circulated examples can usually be had for $25 or less, and if you're lucky, like I was, even under $10 occasionally (especially if you buy small bulk lots). I'm also told there are no real "stoppers" to assembling a long date run, maybe even all of the 1500s.  (Or, for the really ambitious, the whole run from 1503 to 1696!)  In my experience, the 1600s pieces were actually a little bit tougher than the ones from the 1500s.[/QUOTE]
