<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed23, post: 2046962, member: 32117&quot;]This reminds me of an auction my neighbor went to back in the mid 1970s where he bought an old upright piano for $75 for his daughter to practice her lessons on. It was so out of tune he had a piano tuner come to the house to tune it. When he saw it he told him it was built in the mid-1800s and there were several dead keys due to corroded or missing strings, so my friend was expecting the worse. But when the tuner opened the back, and began fiddling with the upright brass board of strings a coin dropped and rolled across the floor. He went over and picked it up. It was an 1846 Seated Liberty Dime in VF-XF condition. Without asking me what I&#039;d give him for it he took it to a local coin shop where he promptly sold it for $450 ... he then sold me the piano for $75 for my daughter to use for piano practice ... now my daughter has her own kids but decided to be a nurse practitioner instead of piano player. O, well ... at least maybe she&#039;ll treat me when all the doctors are gone due to obamacare.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
