    Oh no, you aren’t going to start referring to yourself in third person too, are you? That weird cat / person is more than enough.

    I also admire this great pickup and restoration.

    I didn't take any, and you couldn't tell on the sellers not-so-good pics.

    Raw high-grade SLQs are fairly easy to buy raw for cheap if the pictures aren’t good. That one is particularly nice.

    Has anyone ever cherrypicked a 1918/7-D Buffalo or a 14/3 Buffalo as a common 18-D or a 14?

    I Cherry picked 2 1918/7's from a 5lb coffee can. These coins were being used over the years as poker chips. Sold both raw, the first for $750, and $75 for the second which was the only coin in the can that had been slashed multiple times with a knife.

    Once someone on CU was looking through dealer inventory when they found three 1914/3 nickels priced as regular 1914s. He told the dealer that he had found three 14/3s and wanted to buy them, and the dealer just took them to the back table and said “They’re not for sale.”

    Never tell anyone about a cherrypick until you buy it.

    And this 1917-D Type 2 Standing Liberty Quarter that I snagged for $3.00. It was in a dealers junk quarter box marked 12X face.

    My LCS is high on prices, but on some series he is a conservative grader. Most of those Indians he had at AU55.
