Potential collection buyout @ todays pick up.

Postby NHsorter » Fri Dec 14, 2012 12:20 pm

A guy was dumping in the lobby counter as I was hauling out bags I just bought off the vault. He saw me with the bags and said he was almost done so it would just be a minute. I told him that I just BOUGHT the bags so obviously he had questions. Hey, someone dumping coin in a machine starts talking to you, you gotta appease their friendliness (a.k.a. take the opportunity to peek and make sure they are not pumping silver in there). Long story short, after a chat, turns out his dad had a collection and he wants me to take a look at it. Said he's gonna call me next week when he has some spare time. Who knows, it'll probably be a jar of common wheats and some bicentennial quarters. But you never know! Had to post this up, cause no one else here wants to hear any more coin talk today :)

So what your telling me is that my Bi-centennial qtrs aren't rare!!???? :o :shock: Surely you're mistaken, I mean it has a DRUMMER on the Back! LOL

Good luck with the collection! Let us know what he has/HAD. Stuff like that never happens to me. If I ever want good Numis' or junk silver I always have to pay a premium :cry:

Ok, a week has gone by...anything to report?
From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.
