<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stork, post: 2930382, member: 71642&quot;]Here&#039;s a recent arrival.&nbsp; I bought it from a European auction with a scant description and washed out photos.&nbsp; Expected a horribly cleaned coin, but considering they used the wrong date in its description (online AND in the printed catalog they&#039;d sent me), I was willing to take a chance.&nbsp; Even with auction fees and shipping fees it ended up being a decent buy as catalog for a year 14 vs. 24 is about a 3x difference. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not as horribly cleaned as I feared--looks better in hand than in the photo really.&nbsp; If only it had hidden an UNC instead of AU then it would have been a screaming buy.&nbsp; Also sadly not the scarcer variant for the year (but that was obvious in the photos--the normal location for the 4).</p><p><br /></p><p>Still a lucky purchase for a year I&#039;d not normally have gotten and there is something gratifying in spotting a mistake]...and as an auction it was fair.<img src="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/uBg0s7eZQ5SnpKJAGJ8n_combo%20f0f0f0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
