<p>[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3075458, member: 27832"]Yep. I bought a lot of metal-detected, heavily cleaned Mercury dimes, I forget how many, maybe 30. But many of them had high-grade details, including one 1926-S. I sold that one for about twice what I paid for the lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there was the junk lot (which old-timers here are sick of hearing about) that featured a holed trade dollar. It turned out to be a proof-only issue, and I sold it for about four times the cost of the lot. (And there were a number of other goodies in that lot, including a heavily-verdigris'd 1931-S cent, a corroded 1912-S nickel, and so on...)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
