If THIS is true about coin dealers, what else is there?
Couple of short stories.
When I was young I bought a BU 1950-d Nickle for a good price. When I asked why they sold it for so low, they muttered some uninteligible answer. Much later I discovered the coin was sofly-struck and had poor metal flow. I'm much smarter now. Coinage magazine *once* made the mistake of publishing an article that included the sentence: "Dealers will say very little when trying to sell a problem coin. Just enough info get rid of it." Yeah, I was a little surprised too. Can't write anything that upsets the advertisers. I don't have any friends in the coin biz. If you have any pearls of wisdom, I'd like to hear it. Thanks in advance. |

Thanks in advance. Kill yourself NOW, el retard. My great-uncle, thrice removed, had four bags of 1950-D five cent coins which he used to prop open the door in his paint store in beautiful downtown Lincoln, Illinois. He got them for face value at the time of issue. I was always told that he would use a roll of 1950-D nickels as a suppository to beat down the inflamation when he couldn't otherwise sit down. You no doubt got one of those coins. All of the above is absolutely true, and my great-uncle thrice removed used to run free ads in Numismatic News right up until a few weeks before his death at age 99 years, 363.98 days back in 2008. BTW, you are no "PEARL" of wisdom. Butt you might be my old friend RF. oly |
