He made a very nice deal of $40 back of what he sold it to me for. Said he&#039;d give the difference off a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>He had some people that were in his shop trying to sell some gold including a 1905 Double Eagle. I got a little excited because he said he&#039;d hold a Saint Gaudens for me when he got another one in and this could be the one! We waited for him to finish with his customers before we sat in the chairs provided. The Saint Gaudens was a no deal as they wanted a lot of money for it so I was a little bummed but still excited to see what else he had. </p><p><br /></p><p>I asked him what else he had that weren&#039;t in the show cases. Out comes a small basket full of raw and graded coins. Pulls out a 1909-S VDB NGC F12, turn it over, $1,000 sticker<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Then I see a small plastic cent and ask to see that, a RAW 1909-S VDB in close to the same condition as the NGC F12, I ask the price. He said the 1856-O quarter plus a few hundred dollars cash. The 1856-O according to another dealer was doctored, so it was a details coin AU details, but still details. I did notice the nick in the rim on the reverse, but it&#039;s still a freaking 09-S VDB, the one and only coin I need to complete my series. It wasn&#039;t what I went in there planning to buy, but I was one happy camper walking out the door! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Took me 22 years since I started collecting wheat cents but here is the last puzzle piece, my 1909-S VDB</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]294648[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
