JACKPOT!!!! Wheaties from my dealer.

Stopped by to see my dealer again today......I REALLY like this guy hahaha.....only the third time he's seen me and he's already got my name down pat... Pretty uncommon for the rude people around here.

Anyhow....told him to just grab me a cupful of wheaties from his box...which turned out to be 321 wheaties at 10.00 for all.

Today was a good day.

Several AU Wheaties mostly 55-58 all mints but had one 1919 AU. It's GORGEOUS all shiny and red haha.

2 1909
3 1910
1 1911s xf+
1922d very lightly struck d but still it's there dammit haha. vf+
1924d

and



1914D f+ WOOT!!! haha I couldn't believe it This was the 4th from last coin I pulled to check haha.


Could someone tell me my best route to get this certified. There's always that chance that it's an altered 44 and I want to get it cert'ed. Either way....this made my day.


Did I say that I love my dealer???? Hahaha.

Now, the question is...do I tell him and show him the coin with the risk that he may start actually spending some time searching his wheaties? Hmm, dilemma.


Will try to get pics as soon as I can.

Edit: Hit my 4 instead of 3.

Well I would certainly return and tell him about what a fun time you had with the last batch. I would probably mention some of the AU coins, but maybe not the 1914D. It probably would not make a difference - especially if the bin is real big.

 

Yes by all means you must return and disclose what you got. Then ask how much more money you owe him.
You have an obligation to even things out!
Ha Ha just kidding. I would go back for more if I were you, without delay. Once I got a handful of Barber dimes at a flea market for about $1.25 each. They were in very aged 2X2 holders with faded blue ink. There were 20 or so left that I didn't buy.
I think I awoke a sleeping vein in the dealer's stash. When I went back 2 weeks later they were all in brand new 2X2 holders and marked from $2.50 to $8.00. He got wise to his old prices and redid the whole lot.
I passed on buying any. But I regretted not buying them for $1.25 each when I had the chance.

 

I'd be going back for another cup.....quick.

You've made a lot of crazy post about this dealer... hmmm... fishy

 

Always nice to find a dealer like that. I've got one that I will always go to and recommend to others.

 

Hey sounds like you hit the jackpot.

 

What did you get in the second trip to the dealer? If you haven't done that - why not?

 

Just bought 100 more from him, aside from some very nice AU 57's and 58 's p & d's...nothing to write home about haha.

Made alot of crazy posts about the dealer? What crazy posts?


Out of probably 1200 coins, I have found 2 of any REAL value (aside from different possible varieties that I have to check when I get a good magnifier)

And he gave me some cool stuff back as change a couple of times. I don't find that too crazy. But hey, you might.


Well, unless you count the 55 ddo that he sold me for 3 bucks. (bah, I wish!!!)

EDIT: No one has answered my question about getting the 14d certified. What would be my best route? I would assume that it's a fairly reasonable chance that the coin is an altered 44d correct?

 

Put up a photo and see what the concensus is here first....Just a thought on the 14D.

As I have said, I have no cam yet Steven. Wish I did haha. Speaking of which, do you guys have any recommendations for a good cam to take coin pics? I would most likely need to stay in the 100 - 150 dollar range as I'm perpetually short on money these days (which is why I buy the wheaties and not walking liberties which is my one true love as far as coins go).

EDITED

 

An altered 1944-D should be fairly easy to detect. The 1944 has a VDB on the bottom of the bust. 1914 did not. Also, the true 1914 has even spacing in the date while the altered looks like 19 14. If you are in doubt, post a picture or go back to your dealer.

 

Wow that's really a good find, espicially from a dealer....1914D...for ten bucks!

 

Kinda hard to believe isn't it? A 1914-D from a dealer in 2007. And he also says he got a 1911-S in XF, a 1922 weak D, and a 1924-D in the same cup! All for $10 !!

 

Speedy, I think Hamman's responses were valid. I have to admit, those finds seem a bit unlikely. I mean, if I'm correct, those coins would be worth over $100, from a $10 cup of wheats, from a dealer. I hate to say it, Jasn, but until I see some pictures, I'm going to have to remain skeptical like Hamman. I apologize if you did find those, and if so, good buy!

 

I got a infraction for being skeptical!

 

IF the coins are as he describes, the 11-S would be worth nearly $100, the others ~$100+ (depending on the 1922) and the 14-D is worth $300+.

 

Well, I assumed that if it was true, that the coins must be overgraded. A lot of new(er) collectors are guilty of that, myself included. So I figured that they'd be worth atleast $100, regardless of grade.
