<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Zzyzzyth, post: 802791, member: 21495&quot;]A vendor my company does business with and I got to talking about coins being my latest fad when he said he collected coins, too.&nbsp; Well, I perked up.&nbsp; My first coin friend that understood me!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When I threw around big words like PCGS &amp; NGC he got the deer in the headlights look.&nbsp; Apparently, he&#039;s just been socking away anything that got in his way that he felt was collectable and (like I used to) had no idea how much more there was to learn about coin collecting.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He has told me stories of &quot;wonderful things&quot; that he has just stashed and never looked back at.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Today, he brought in a silver denarius with Tiberius on it.&nbsp; It was in a mylar flip and he said:&nbsp; &quot;You can take it out if you want.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What!&nbsp; Are you kidding me&nbsp; I&#039;m not touching that thing!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>First one I&#039;ve ever seen.</p><p>What an exhilarating experience it was to hold this coin!&nbsp; Stories just oozed from this coin.&nbsp; The misery, the treason.&nbsp; I am of course, assuming it&#039;s real but I have no reason to doubt it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Once I regained my senses I told him he should send it in, if only to authenticate it and protect it.&nbsp; He could obviously care less about grade or value, but I think he would want to know if he&#039;s been carrying around a slug.&nbsp; But, it looked to me to be very nice.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Should I keep urging him to do this, or just leave it as a suggestion.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I shutter to think he has Morgan&#039;s in an old Crown Royal bag getting banged by a vacuum, or worse.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sorry &#039;bout the long story.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
