<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 6242157, member: 13307&quot;]I actually own one of these varieties entirely by accident...well, I <i>sort of</i> have a Scarface...</p><p><br /></p><p>When my grandmother needed to be moved from her home into full time assisted living, the executors of her estate (my aunt and uncle) asked me to sell off her coins.&nbsp; A few rolls of silver dollars were included in this small accumulation, and I suggested that we give one each to every living family member.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>They agreed that was a good idea, and I made a further suggestion that we send them off to ANACS to get my grandparents&#039; names attributed on the slabs (partially to remember them, but mostly to keep some of my cousins from pawning/losing them.)&nbsp; So I picked out the nicest silver dollars (almost all were UNC, nothing special, with a couple AU58&#039;s) and came up one short, so I picked the oldest - an 1888 O in VF - and figured I&#039;d take it, since I didn&#039;t care about the grade, just the memory of my grandparents.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, shortly after the coins were received by ANACS, I received a call from them notifying me that the 1888 O was indeed VAM 1B2, the early die state of the Scarface variety.&nbsp; I hadn&#039;t noticed at all, nor had I asked them to check for varieties, but they&#039;d noticed it and offered to attribute it with my permission.&nbsp; Of course I said yes!</p><p><br /></p><p>So, now instead of owning the ugliest Morgan my grandparents stashed away, I have the COOLEST (and probably most valuable among all the coins that we sent off - VF30 1888 O VAM 1B2 - by accident.</p><p><br /></p><p>To answer the original question, I think my favorite (or, the variety I get most excited to find) is the 1964 D Type C Reverse Washington Quarter.&nbsp; Out of the hundred of thousands of quarters I&#039;ve searched (yes, literally that many), I think grand total I&#039;ve found about 15.&nbsp; (In fact, I was just asked to sort through an estate hoard containing 2,600 Washington Quarters - originally purchased for 3x face value in 1976 - and found TWO nice AU examples.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Such a tough variety to find!&nbsp; I still sometimes dream of finding some BU rolls of them for melt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
