tgauchsin Valued Member United States 344 Posts	Posted 03/22/2014 09:07 am I picked up this 1858 Small Letter Flying Eagle for $27 at the LCS. I'm still fairly new at raw coins, but I thought for under $30, I'd take a chance. How'd I do? Report this Post to the Staff

beaglebailey Pillar of the Community United States 716 Posts	Posted 03/22/2014 11:27 am I think for $30 you could have found a nice problem free FE in F12-F15 condition. Sorry, but I agree that you overpaid for that coin. Fortunately, it is only a $27.00 mistake. I made plenty of them when I started Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 03/22/2014 9:29 pm Yeah, maybe an $8-10 coin tops. We've all being there :-) At least it wasn't $2700! swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
