I have been searching every day for a draped bust large cent that meets a pretty strict set of standards for quite some time now. I was looking again this morning, in the large cents category on ebay, and I see a listing for an 1892 half dollar .... pretty worn, and I don't care much for low end Barber stuff, but I was thinking to myself "at 25 dollars and 5 dollars postage, stick an O on that bad boy and I'm your man" .... wouldn't you know that it was a New Orleans minted coin. Low mintage of 360 thousand give or take, and 300 dollars in Good per numismedia. That was a dandy way to start the day.... Then I spotted a date set of Lincolns and picked up some coins I needed for my lincoln set....namely a 14-S, a 15-S, a 22-D, and a 31-D. I actually didn't need a 15-S or 22-D, but I'll keep the best for my set , swap a philly minted 1914 for the S, and sell the date set again, still with 2 nice dates in it, and recoup most of my investment.

Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 10/30/2011 09:47 am I'm having a hard time just trying to find one specimen that meets my criteria. I wouldn't even want to attempt the set you're working on. It's nice to get a good one once in awhile. Maybe I can boost my draped bust budget with the sale of the key date Barber.
