<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bqcoins, post: 389561, member: 5036&quot;]All right, a bit of a back story here.&nbsp; About four months ago I was at my local dealer&#039;s and he showed me a set of coins he was about to purchase from a man who attempted to build a date set, got frustrated and quit, only to get rid of the coins years later at a profit since he couldn&#039;t finish the set.&nbsp; No wonder he couldn&#039;t finish, the set consisted of 9 $3 coins all purchased sometime in the 70&#039;s based on the prices written on the 2x2s to our nearest best guess.&nbsp; After looking through the coins, I asked him what kind of offers he was considering on the lowest grade of the bunch an 1870 in VF, the coin pictured below.&nbsp; He said and I quote, &quot;I&#039;m making out like a bandit here on the rest of these, so I can let you have it for, say...$500&quot;&nbsp; Instant shock set in followed by a $200 down payment.&nbsp; I walked in this morning, paid the balance and brought it home.&nbsp; The only major drawback on the coin I could find was a crush mark or ding on the rim, seen in the picture between 11-12 on the obverse and 6-7 on the reverse.&nbsp; The pictures were taken under florescent light, the first one with the flash on.&nbsp; What do yall think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
