<p>[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2138229, member: 71510"]Mine wasn't rolled, but it was in a stack that I bought at an estate auction. Everyone was buying melt value - and not even looking at the coins. I saw this one among some fairly worn ones. This was a stellar find. I paid $190 for a lot of 20 coins - plus 12% premium and was ready to go farther. People laughed at me. This one I sold for $700 all by itself. And then I laughed. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I sold it at an auction, and I'm 99% sure the guy that bought it worked for HA. If restoration did me justice, I'm guessing an MS63 or even 64. Other than the scuff on the cheek - it's gorgeous!</p><p><br /></p><p>I probably should have sprung for restoration - because it came back graded as uncirculated. 1905-P Barber Half.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]408276[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]408278[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]408275[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
