<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 767191, member: 15309&quot;]My candidate for steal of the year in 2010 is any 1936-1942 proof cameo coin.&nbsp; They are exceedingly rare and are much more attractive than the brilliant proofs IMO.&nbsp; Here is the auction listing for the last CAMEO WLH by Heritage.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1114&amp;Lot_No=698" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1114&amp;Lot_No=698" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1114&amp;Lot_No=698</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, these are not coins you would want to bid on sight unseen.&nbsp; The only question is will we see one of these coins in auction in 2010?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As far as my steal of the year for this year for 2009, it has to be this 1952 NGC MS67 Jefferson Nickel that I bid $1,000 and lost in a Heritage auction in May 2009.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=69031&amp;Lot_No=61142" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=69031&amp;Lot_No=61142" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=69031&amp;Lot_No=61142</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Just three short months later, the same coin appeared in a DLRC auction.&nbsp; I again bid $1,000 on the coin and won with a final price of $200 which is actually less than Numismedia Wholesale.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.davidlawrence.com/inventory/viewitem.cfm?Inventory=290375&amp;CFID=7986391&amp;CFTOKEN=2c68115332398c1f-717AC772-2BFC-0A80-302DCD49FDBC374B" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.davidlawrence.com/inventory/viewitem.cfm?Inventory=290375&amp;CFID=7986391&amp;CFTOKEN=2c68115332398c1f-717AC772-2BFC-0A80-302DCD49FDBC374B" rel="nofollow">http://www.davidlawrence.com/inventory/viewitem.cfm?Inventory=290375&amp;CFID=7986391&amp;CFTOKEN=2c68115332398c1f-717AC772-2BFC-0A80-302DCD49FDBC374B</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1952NGCMS67.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
