I had no intention of buying anything but always keep my eyes peeled for bargains <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie100" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I ended up scoring 7 handsome coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. But the real shocker came with lot #97462, pictured below, photos courtesy of Heritage.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1058725[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1058726[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1058729[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>No mention was made in the coins description that this was an <b>Extreme Rare</b> issue & it had an estimate of $100 - 200 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />!
