<p>[QUOTE="MIGuy, post: 24555698, member: 116145"]I have deep respect for you folks who have the straight graded collections in order - I freely admit to my attraction for the ugly scratched tooled holed types on occasion. Those occasions being when I could never afford a nice straight graded example. I'm not a collector so much for the beauty - though that's definitely a component of my curiosity, I'm fascinated by the history and I do get a bit OCD about filling spots, which Details coins have been satisfying for many years. So I've always wanted a Draped Bust Silver Dollar, and I have needed an 1875 Carson City 20 Cent Piece. So, for less than $1000 (thank you recent OT) I have this weekend acquired both... One of the ugliest 1799 Draped Bust Dollars you'll ever see - and a, perhaps uglier, ex-jewelry 1875 Carson City 20 Cent piece. (I will upgrade in the future I hope). Feast your eye balls on this - and post your uglies!!! (Sellers pics)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1554870[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1554871[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1554872[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1554873[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
