Message:: [QUOTE="Steamandlight, post: 2461753, member: 56876"]While sorting through a bunch of my collection I haven't looked at since I was a kid, I came across a Morgan dollar that was labelled as 1891-"OO" mintmark. I remember that purchase - it was at a LCS about 18 or so years ago (longer than 15, probably not quite 20 lol). It was being sold as an error coin, as if the "O" mintmark was drastically doubled. I picked it up for about 2x the value of a "regular" 1891-O morgan. It was the first error coin I ever bought. Everyone here probably knows EXACTLY what the coin really was - I only just figured it out, when I came across it again. 1891-CC, of course <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I thought, at the time, I'd overpaid, but I definitely wanted the coin, so I paid it. I feel like it cost me around $15 at the time? little more, little less. It seems I did much better than I thought, though <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
