WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2859 Posts	Posted 06/28/2014 9:31 pm Picked this up from a pawn shop today for less than $50. Even though it's pretty worn and was an obvious ex-jewelry piece, I figured that under $50 for this key date wasn't too bad. I usually try to stay away from damaged coins though. Still don't mind if I ended up paying a little too much because it is a rather rare date. Thoughts on how I did? Report this Post to the Staff

zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 06/28/2014 9:38 pm This was perfectly good purchase. Numismedia lists at $480 in G-4. I think you did just fine for under $50. I would`ve paid that anyday. Shame though that it has that damage.... Report this Post to the Staff

Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 06/28/2014 9:52 pm Good purchase. It is still a pretty neat coin, even with the nasty rim dings and the fact that it has been holed/ plugged. Report this Post to the Staff
WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2859 Posts	Posted 06/29/2014 10:05 am Thanks for the comments. Anyone else? I'm really happy with this purchase even though it's a rough example. Surprised it hasn't been cleaned since it was an ex-jewelry piece. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCollector2012 Pillar of the Community United States 8137 Posts	Posted 06/29/2014 11:51 am I can see where it was holed and then plugged. For under $50, it looks like you did fine. Did they know it was a key date? Edited by CoinCollector2012 06/29/2014 11:52 am Report this Post to the Staff
