I Purchased A "Grandpa's Coin Collection" Lot And Scored Big! (Long Thread)

So I was scrolling through auctions the other day on a site similar to ebay, but for local stuff when I came across the typical "grandpa died and had some old coins" lot. I usually click in and see if there is anything of interest and at first there didn't seem like much. Just your typical wheaties, indians, buffalos, a few shield cent, ect. But, I saw something that caught me eye in a big way. The starting big was $150 and I took a gamble and put a bid down and won. Boy am I glad I did, I'll save the best find for last.

First was a 1868 Shield nickel DDO FS-101

Second was an unlisted (or so I believe) 1867 No Rays DDO Shield with a planchet flaw.

Third was an 1869-WD-5c-FS-1306 RPD

And the last nice shield was an 1870-5c-FS-102


These alone would have made it worth it to buy the lot, but it gets better.

To start off the indians I found 2 1864 w/ L's. The first being in overall nice shape, but with some nasty rim damage.


The second was a corroded mess, but had a nice RPD, FS-1301 S-1



Then a nice choice AU 1684 No L.


Next was this 1865 IHC RPD FS-1303 S-3


Next was this 1885 Indian with an exceptional strike through grease error.

Then this minor, but well spread 1897 RPD Indian.

And now hold on to your pants because there was not 1, not 2, but 3 seperate 1894/1894 RPD FS-301 S-1 IHCs. 1 of them is probably a probably details coin for the reverse scratches; and all I feel would benifit from acetone. All 3 will go to ANACS.









Then 2 beautiful (in hand) woodgrain BU 1907 Indians.





Now I did say I'd save the best for last right? What possibly could have made me buy this with enthusiasm? This is probably one of the scarcer errors I now own. An 1864 No L Indian cent Struck 10% Off-Center at 12:00.



I had already been planning on sending in an 1949-D LWC with a dropped letter to PCGS @ the Baltimore show next week on the behalf on TB, but it looks like I have something else to add on now!
