mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 05/14/2011 10:39 pm Hey guys, Look what I found in a pile of low value culls at an auction this weekend. It was stapled in one of those whit Mylar holders with $ 21 written on it. Please tell me if you think it's real and what grade it is. IF it turns out to be real, this could be my luckiest find ever since I paid $ 6 for it. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

BuffaloBonehead Valued Member United States 333 Posts	Posted 05/16/2011 01:24 am That is fantastic. Now what will you do? Sell it and use the proceeds to fill a hole in your collection? Or are you going to use this coin to fill a hole in your collection? Report this Post to the Staff
mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 01:42 am I'm just going to put it next to my clock on my desk and briefly dwell upon the fact that this was the best ever deals that I have ever done w/r/t cost vs. value. In a strange way I really felt just like pirate that had just found some illegal sunken buried treasure etc. After a couple of weeks I'll get sick of looking at it. Then I'll throw it in the safe.
