jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2210 Posts	Posted 11/20/2011 8:54 pm I always thought it'd be tough to get a decent-looking 20-cent piece without busting out a lot of dough. I won the above on ebay for $120, which while not cheap, didn't hurt too much. And I got the hole filled! It's not going to win anybody's hearts but at least it's clean and doesn't have any problems (oops! Just noticed the gouge on the eagle's chest!). Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 11/20/2011 9:06 pm I had a very hard time filling this coin with one that I liked. I finally ended up with a PCGS XF-45; I was hoping to spend $200 or so but ended up going higher just because I could not find a coin with a good clear Liberty at that price. Spent a little more than I wanted but what the heck... This is not a good picture but here's mine: My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 11/21/2011 07:36 am I am on the lookout for one in about VF, any date. I will eventually get one from a postal auction conducted by one of Australia's lesding dealers. Just have to be patient. A lot of my collection has been acquired in this way over the last 10 years. Although the price for grade pattern for the U.S. 20 cent coin is reasonably well established in Australia, I would be up against fewer bidders in Australia, if one comes up for auction. If I am successful, I always pay cash on personal pickup with these auctions. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189142 Posts	Posted 11/22/2011 11:09 am Sadly, this hole is empty in my 7070. I found the perfect, and I mean perfect, Twenty Cent coin a couple of years ago. The coin was absolutely stunning, with some honest wear and a beautiful tone. The price was a bit more than what I wanted to spend. Looking back, I wish I had given in to the temptation. I will probably never see a Twenty Cent coin like that again, at least not at that price.

OneBowl Pillar of the Community United States 759 Posts	Posted 11/22/2011 6:13 pm Thanks for the replies and pictures everyone. Kind of nice to know that hole is a challenge for more than me, even if it means I'll have some competition when a nice one shows up in my budget range. I actually may sell the one I currently have and use the empty hole as motivation to move forward. I'll probably offer it here first. Although cleaned/polished, it has a really nice reverse strike which many lack. Thanks again. Happy Thanksgiving. Report this Post to the Staff
