jtryka Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 So I happened to be bidding on a couple lots at the last Lyn Knight currency auction, and was live when the coin lots started, so I saw a nice 1828 bust half dollar in a lot of mixed coins and decided to bid on it. Well I won the lot for $150, or $172.50 with the buyer's premium. Now that I won, I decided to see what I bought! Here is their photo: Yes, I am the blind pig, because with my 1828 bust half I got a 1938-D walking liberty half (mintage 491,600), a 1913 Barber half (mintage 188,000), an 1876-CC quarter in VF, an 1841-O dime in VG, an 1863 CWT which I have no clue about and an 1867 shield nickel with rays in VF. When I bid, I knew the 38-D half was a good date, but I had no clue on the Barber or the shield nickel that those were better dates! Looks like I found an acorn!

just carl Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Realy nice especially since the 38D Walker is worth almost as much as you paid for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
