<p>[QUOTE="John Skelton, post: 3637811, member: 92092"]I had mentioned before that I was interested in FEs, and this monthly coin show was my first stop. I first went to a dealer that I have a relationship with, but I knew he likely didn't have the coin since he has a small inventory and seems to be leaning more to selling supplies. Anyway he didn't have it but pointed out two other dealers he said might have one. One didn't have one and the other was busy. While I waited for the one to get freed up, I wandered around and came across this quarter in a half-price bin.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]976332[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]976333[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I thought it was a nice off-centered strike, but even though it was going for half the $25 it was marked, I wanted to wait until I knew how much the FE would cost.
