<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 7943093, member: 97383&quot;]The coin pictured below was certainly neglected &amp; unwanted by everyone accept me. I bought this coin many years ago at a large coin show in Rochester, NY when the Chinese coin market was getting very hot. The coin was a typical weak strike for a 1920 &quot;Fatman Dollar&quot;, as they were called in those days, but it appeared to be in mint state &amp; had a price of only $30.00 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I didn&#039;t have much money that week so I decided to wait until I looked over the whole show before going back for it. I forgot about the coin &amp; didn&#039;t remember it till the next day. I went back to the show &amp; saw the coin still in the dealer&#039;s case <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, &amp; shocked that no one picked up this coin that must have been worth 10 times what the dealer was asking. I examined the coin carefully &amp; it looked like the &quot;real McCoy&quot;, so I paid the $30.00 for it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. When I got the coin back from NGC for slabbing I realized why nobody wanted it but me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1375261[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1375263[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1375264[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Looks like I was the only one stupid enough to buy it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.
