Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2582683, member: 10461"]I wouldn't look twice at a 1958 Wheatie, even one as nice as yours.  After 40 years in, one gets a bit jaded and harder to impress. BUT if I was coin roll hunting and found that, I'd have had a big, goofy grin on my face. Similarly, under normal circumstances, I would not be terribly impressed by a worn-out 1912 Barber dime, even though it is silver. BUT when I dug one metal detecting a while back, I was just like a little kid.  I wouldn't have given more than two bucks or so for that coin if I had seen it in a dealer's junk silver bin, but being there when it came out of the ground?  A total rush! It made my whole week. It's the thrill of the hunt... and the find. (There's video of that find around here somewhere.  Look for the "Dirty Movie" thread if you want to see and hear me get rather overexcited a few times about some old but not terribly valuable coins.)[/QUOTE]
