A little while back I was at a local LCS (where I got the 1831 dime). They have bargain bins, set price, pick your coin. I spent a couple minutes searching through the Walking Liberty tray, and out of those dirty, worn out girls, this lovely lady made herself known! I don't know why she ended up in there instead of a 2x2, but I was happy for $12. Grade opinions?

Easy AU58

I'm so jealous. The coin stores that used to have those sort of "pick em" bins disappeared many years ago around here, the few that are still open to the public have everything either in holders or behind cases or both.

I miss the days spent as a kid digging through the "10x face" silver box.

I don't remember what the multiple was at my LCS, but I do remember rooting around in the box and picking out the ones that looked like they had the most remaining detail.

Nice pick-up @wide.

Reasonably well struck up on Lib's head, and eagle's breast feathers.
