Your most unbelievable Deal!

1895 (G), 1896-O (G), 1894-O (AG/G), 1892-S (AG/G) barber dimes for $1.25 each-found in a dealers bulk bin in Albaquerque NM during the Spring of 2005. I guess you can call that cherrypicking-I just call it finding new dates to finish that set.
Also during that trip-I find half of the dates for my Barber Quarter set for between $1.75 and $2.25 a piece. When I said I found half the dates, I passed up most of the common-high mintage coins for lower mintage-semi-key coins. The best being an 1897-S in G-4. I think I spent about $75 there on the quarters alone. I didn't even get to the Dimes or Halves (the halves were going for $4-6 each and dimes for $1.25 each).
I also found an 1895-O Morgan Dollar in G-4+ for $30 in 2004 in New Orleans.

That's it for now.

Wow... would love to see it... and I just love the 20 cent pieces, lol...

 

My 1926S Buff.....paid about $110 for it as a PCI F15...sent it to NGC and it came back VF20 and its value would be around $400.

I have some other good deals...but this is my pick!

My 1886 morgan paid $1.00 but it was from my uncle does that still count?

 

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I'll add my two cents. Not an outstanding deal, but I did buy a set of Lincoln cents, 59-82 (all the 82 varieties) BU for a dollar at a dealer. Not amazing, but still a nice deal IMO. Thought I'd share.
