It's Simply, "Frugal Frugal Friday!" Bought on the cheap.....Post yours.....

Hello all. It's time for a new thread! It's called Simply "Frugal Frugal Friday!". A thread about buying a Coin(s), token or medal that you purchased perhaps a while ago or recently "on the cheap" and now is worth way more than when you purchased it. A good story behind your post should be interesting as well.
Here is my short story. I met this very pretty girl back in 1990 and while we were out and about one day, we went to a small flea market in a mall. I guess I was trying to impress her by buying a coin I saw there or at least that was the plan.
It was this 1909vdb Lincoln Cent. The guy had it at an EF40 which meant nothing to me at the time. It was the decent condition that got me and the $3.00 price tag. What a bargain I thought. I figure that I got my money's worth.
Oh, by the way, I married that girl in 1995! Well worth it.
. So, I got the coin and the Love of my life, forever.
Comments welcome....
