just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/01/2007 07:27 am Great junk box find. That is one of the things I watch for at coin shows. Occationally a dealer will put things in there unknowingly or just dosen't care. I know one dealer that sells such high ended coins he could care less about the coins in his junk box. I've pulled so many Mercury dimes in MS grades out of his box for a dollar each and he just doesn't care. Like I said, great find. Keep on checking them out. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/04/2007 2:49 pm No, I saw the coin not too long after it was discovered and it was a nice original no problems AU at that time. The slight wear was clearly evident. "Conservation" should not boosted the grade. Hype and oneupmanship between the grading services? That's another matter. Report this Post to the Staff
