afcop13 Pillar of the Community United States 1409 Posts	Posted 01/08/2018 08:08 am I missed out on a SLQ lot on the bay in 2011 that had BOTH a 1919-D and a 1919-S in VG to F condition. The lot was for 40 coins, I got outbid by a buck, and refused to bid any higher than I already had. Looking back, I should have bid another $20 and I'd have STILL been ahead on just those 2 coins alone. Report this Post to the Staff

It was a great looking coin and not one of the usual common dates. Oh well...next. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/08/2018 11:56 am There is a ridiculously-doubled Canadian Large Cent of a year not known for it (no, I'm not revealing the date ) which I've seen one example of. At the time, I chose not to spend money I really didn't have to spend on it. Had I known then that it was so scarce that it would be the only example I saw in 2017 - when multiple examples of those LC varieties considered "rarest" have surfaced in that same period - I'd have gone without dinner to have it. There will be another, and I'll find it. Report this Post to the Staff
