<p>[QUOTE="MIGuy, post: 16298490, member: 116145"]3 that come to mind - my 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter, purchased raw in a lot of 82 SLQ and Barber quarters with bad pictures. The lot was about $380 so that cost me less than $5 for the 1916. The SLQ is graded FR02 Details, Damaged (reverse has damage). Then two NGC body bags - a rare 3 cent 1833 Feuchtwangers Composition with the New York State Seal (looks like space aliens to me!) with altered surfaces (so not encapsulated) for $525 and my only gold hammered coin, a 1422-1461 1/4 Gold Noble Henry VI - damaged. It appears it was on a chain and then pulled off of same (not encapsulated as too fragile for pressure sealing) that I got for $320 after some negotiation. This is the same coin (date / type) that was found in Canada last year raising a question as to when the first Europeans were in Canada. I also really like my accidental 1807 complete set - all very low grade stuff I picked up at (relative) bargain prices. Not shown is my large cent (raw) but I have both the Drapped Bust and Capped Bust 1807 half dollar and the rest the mint produced that year.</p><p> [ATTACH=full]1534251[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1534252[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1534253[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1534254[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
