<p>[QUOTE="Candice Wise, post: 4938385, member: 114464"]Nice Mercury Dime.. I see why you're holding it.. I have a few of daddy's left.. I'm going to tell you the most horrible lesson I have ever learned about coin collecting.. I still get upset about it.. Daddy had been collecting since he was a little boy and I was the only child he had that showed passion for it like he did.. He had an extremely expensive collection with just about every coin you could imagine.. And he had a thing for 2 dollar bills and Silver Certificates.. Oh yeah, and his beloved Morgan's and Susan B. Anthony's!! Lol.. Something happened and he decided he would sell some of his coins and I jumped at the chance to let me do it.. I had never read much about collecting, just followed his lead.. I thought I would really get him a better profit if I polished all his silver coins.. Which was the majority of his precious collection.. When I met with the appraiser, he immediately became ugly and told me I had ruined his whole collection.. then had the nerve to offer ridiculous prices for the coins.. I was devastated!! Daddy took it a lot better than I did.. I cried for 2 months!! That is something a new collector should know about from the beginning.. Never polish your coins!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
