[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 171739, member: 6763"]As collectors we sometimes have the opportunity to cherrypick scarce or valuable varieties at little or no additional cost. What are your favorite/best varieties that you have been able to grab at a price that we would consider a steal? My favorites: Cherrypicking a 1942/1 Denver Mercury dime that I got from a bag of 'junk' silver. It is now happily residing in an NGC holder XF-45. Cost as silver: .50, slab $10 (thru a friend) value: $1,000. Value as an experience and showing it to three coin dealers who told me that it wasn't the correct variety: priceless. Cherrypicking #8 1864 L Indian Head cents (purchased as '64 no L's) over the years. Cherrypicking, after searching for years #3 1858/7 Flying eagle cents, within three months. All are now in ANACS holders. Others, but these are my favorites. What are yours? Frank[/QUOTE]
