beachloan Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 2:16 pm I found this today, but it is not listed in my CherryPickers Guide. Is it just so common that it is not listed? Or am I just seeing things? Report this Post to the Staff

beachloan Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 7:26 pm Bio, Thank you very much for that link. I found it very helpful. I am not looking to sell this or anything but just curious how you would go about pricing. If I am reading this correct there are only 2 of these reported? I am however going to send it in. Designation: 2-O-II-C Description: Strong spread on date and light on designer's initials, and lower IN GOD WE TRUST Grade: MS63 Population: 2 Thanks for any info. Report this Post to the Staff

JoeyZ76 Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 9:39 pm Those CONECA POP's dont mean anything.... it only means that they have only had 2 submitted to them. you have to exactly ID the DDO # if it exists (hard to tell since CONECA shows no pics of the coins or the die markers) then check PCGS-anacs-NGC etc...to see what their POPs are. that might give you a clue as to how scarce a variety might be.

yankee1227 Pillar of the Community United States 1151 Posts	Posted 09/08/2011 06:24 am Very nice coin. If you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay for it? Report this Post to the Staff
beachloan Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 09/08/2011 1:23 pm Yankee, here is the great part for me. I bought 1000's of silver coins years ago when I was paying $5.00 an oz for bullion and had no interest in numismatic value. I have recently become interested (mainly in varieties)and started going through them. Long story short .40-.50 cents. Report this Post to the Staff
