I had a cousin who had a coin shop in the town where I was living and I would go in to look at his morgan dollars since I was trying to build a set. I was married and had 2 small boys and very little money for coins. All of his coins were raw since the grading companies didn't exist then. I would look at his offerings and select some to buy. Most of the time he would charge me 5 or 6 dollars for each. This time I found one that I needed and presented it to him and ask the price. He looked at it and said it was a good one and the price was $400. I told him I didn't have that kind of money. He looked at me smiled and handed me the coin and said take it and pay me when you can. I was shocked and delighted at the same time. It took me about 4 months to get him paid. No bill or anything like that just trust. I put in my set and a few years later I sent it to ANACS to have it authenticated and graded. Here is that coin.[ATTACH=full]1617673[/ATTACH] It has resided in my set for all these years and a couple of years ago I decided to have some of the better ones in the set graded. Here is this coin as it now resides.[ATTACH=full]1617674[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1617675[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
