<p>[QUOTE="KLJ, post: 206011, member: 1910"]My 16D has a story. About 5 years ago I came across it at a show in Louisville. This was just before the prices really started to ramp up. Really worn, almost to the point of the rims completely enveloping the words. I paid $200 for it, when coins of similar date and condition were going for slightly more than that. I was able to get it at that price because it looks like it's been found by someone with a metal detector. And when they were digging it up hit it with the shovel. A number of dealers - including the previously mentioned bourse chairman - have offered me considerably more than I paid. But I could never afford to replace it at what they would give me.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 21 and 21D were purchased at about the same time from a dealer well known to many here on this forum, but again before prices started to ramp up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
