<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 566005, member: 2100&quot;]There are some out there, but I agree that extreme caution needs to be exercised if buying a raw one. An auctioneer friend of mine was going thru an attic at the home where he was to auction off the estate. Stashed away in a box was a crudely made homemade display case with a virtually complete year set of cents from 1798 to 1902, and yes, there was an XF 1877 in it. From newspapers used as backing, along with a few additional advertisements, and the date of the newest coin, it appears as though those coins were placed into the case in 1902 at the latest and likely forgotten about for a long, long time. Most of the later years were very high grade. This was the same auction where I purchased the W.H.J. counterstamped coin that I showed in another thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
