<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shortgapbob, post: 172195, member: 6088&quot;]My best deal was purchasing a beautiful, raw 1798 large cent for $75, as it was mixed in with a bunch of other large cents that were much more recent&nbsp; (mostly 1840s) and in low grades.&nbsp; The individual wanted $75 each for all of them, so I purchased the 1798 and only that one (I wouldn&#039;t have given him half of that for any of the others). I sent it in for grading and it came back VF-20.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I also purchased a small auction lot of barber halves about a year ago for $4.00 each, and upon inspection, the lot contained an 1896-S and an 1897-O, both problem free, but only in about AG condition.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The hunt for the ultimate deal is part of what makes the hobby fun.....good luck to all in your finds!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
