<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 711310, member: 13650&quot;]Here&#039;s one of those circumstances.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is a good example:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1128&amp;Lot_No=2333#" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1128&amp;Lot_No=2333#" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1128&amp;Lot_No=2333#</a></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; This was an 1839-O&nbsp; $2.5 Classic Head quarter eagle graded by NGC as Improperly cleaned with AU details.&nbsp;&nbsp; This sold back in July.&nbsp; I thought this might be my chance to get a really nice one at a fraction of the cost.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I was wrong.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I guessed it would maybe go for around $600 (wishful thinking).&nbsp;&nbsp; You have to log in to see the sale price so I will just tell you it sold for $1,840.&nbsp;&nbsp; I was way off!&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; With a mintage of only 17,781 and not many known, these don&#039;t come up for sale very often in any condition.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Had it not been improperly cleaned, it may have sold for 3 to 4,000.&nbsp; So it was still a fraction of what it could have been, but still well out of my price range.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
