so I went to the coin shop in hopes of finishing off my franklin dansco (only needed 52-p, 53-p, s) and picking up some BU grade roosies for my other dansco.
i had $50 to burn and thought this goal was attainable. when I got there, they were flat out of roosies and the only frankie they had was a BU 53-s.
the owners wife helped me go with plan B which was to upgrade a few things from my 7070.
in my immature opinion, I thought, I got $50, I better get as much as I can...
she steered my in the other direction of " why dont you upgrade 1 or 2 NICE ones, that way I wont be making money off you twice.
it made sense, if I upgraded some of my ag-g4's and some holed coins, for vg-f examples, I would be upgrading THOSE ones later on anyway!
so this made sense. I would take my $50 and get 1 or 2 coins in way better grades.
i ended up with:
1883 NO Cents in AU ($12.50)
1913 TYPE 1 Buffalo in AU/MS.. amazing color!($22.50)
and the 53-s frankie in MS60+ ($22.50)
so for $56, one less franklin and my nickel page in my dansco looks a whole lot sexier!
pics to come later!
