Very recently picked up an 1887-S LSD that was advertised as being XF with poor pictures, for well under value. Looked like the seller had under-graded it, to me, and in hand, I am sure he did. Fun part of that one is doing the variety attribution for it. It will be worthy of its own thread at some point, because I keep coming back to the possibility of it being an impaired proof, based on the complete and total lack of doubling/filled/filed mintmark. Either way, it was $40 well-spent. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
