[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2599471, member: 15929"]The absolute "BEST" deal on a coin I ever bought was on off-metal 1973-S Eisenhower Dollar which I got at the bank for $1.00. I sold the coin for a substantial premium. [ATTACH=full]567150[/ATTACH] The next best "deal" was a specially struck 1971-S Eisenhower Dollar that I paid $10 for at a Long Beach Coin Show. It turned out to be what many consider to be one of the original Prototype Strikes done when Frank Gasparro was strike proofing the obverse and reverse designs for design compatibility. It also had a unique Oberse and Reverse die design of which only one other is known to exist. [ATTACH=full]567151[/ATTACH] The finish is somewhat unique in that it closely resembles the finish of the Smithsonian Coins reported in the Aug. 5th 2013 issue of Coin World. These coins are very much similar in finish to the 1964 SMS Coins. [ATTACH=full]567152[/ATTACH] All very good deals.[/QUOTE]
