<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 1392804, member: 24091&quot;]There have been a bunch of great deals I&#039;ve stumled into over the years.&nbsp; The two most memorable:&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The complete Greek 1967 set including the 50 and 100 Drachma in silver and the 20 and 100 Drachma in gold for $750.&nbsp; I dumped the silver coins on eBay (I now wished hadn&#039;t done that) and sent the gold in for grading.&nbsp; The 20 in gold; MS67 the 100 in gold; MS68 and possibly the finest known.&nbsp; The dealer who listed the set in his World Coin News ad told me later that 150 people called-in about the set after the ad appeared, and I just happened to be the lucky guy who got through first.&nbsp; This was back when gold was 400 an ounce.</p><p><br /></p><p>Probably the best deal recently, was the purchase of a 1937 Albania 20 Franga in AU for $425 that was sold by one of the majors with no photo in his listing on his own website.&nbsp; I figured it was priced right, would easily sell for double that on eBay, and in the event there was a problem with it he accepted returns. You can imagine my surprise when the coin arrived and it had that magical little word on the reverse spelled &quot;P-R-O-V-A&quot; which pretty much made the coin worth close to 10 times what I had in it with a mintage of 50 pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
