<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 24946445, member: 77413&quot;]Thanks. These original coins came as part of a set I bought. All coins before 1934 were removed, apparently to be sold separately. All these 1940’s and 50’s came with it. Maybe the spotting was never apparent when the original collector saved them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it would be easier to just buy slabbed 66’s or 67’s and break them out for my album. That would pretty much guarantee I would get what I want.</p><p><br /></p><p>That just seems too easy, somehow. It’s no more interesting than buying a can of beans at the store. To me, that’s more accumulating than collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>It just seems more fun to work in the other market, where the coins are raw and you have to visit dealers with raw coins in the back room, or see through the poor online photos and scarce listings to get something nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Of course, I save money. David Lawrence has a 1950-D MS67RD for $325. The one I posted above cost me $5.75. They have MS67 51-D’s for $200; I paid $2.50 and $1.99. I am OK with not having a grade for that price. If I make a mistake I can afford to try again.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
