<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 3133999, member: 71723&quot;]I went to one of my &quot;regular&quot; PA auctions on Saturday, in York, PA. Located right where U.S.30 and I-83 cross, at the Sheraton Four Pointes.</p><p><br /></p><p>I arrived a little late, so I missed the action on some small cents upgrades to my set. As I sat down, we were on Lot 28. I came armed with my sheet, marked my lots with color codes telling me why I wanted each piece and how aggressive to be. Within about 10 minutes, I had examined each lot and I knew what I was actually going to bid on.</p><p><br /></p><p>At Lot 51 I picked up another nice Liberty nickel, 1901, but not PL like the 1883 I grabbed two weeks ago. I call it a 63/64 tweener with some really nicely struck stars, but impaired luster. Lots of flow lines all the way out at the periphery, both sides. The portrait is clean except for one round (not oblong) hit.</p><p><br /></p><p>About an hour later, I added a piece to my 7070 set. With a bid of &quot;only&quot; $80, I took down an 1834 Bust Quarter that the ANA guide (which I do trust for circ. grades) says is a VF-30. Every guide I check tells me $80 was a steal.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, one more 7070 album hole filled.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
