[QUOTE="clembo, post: 347453, member: 8033"]Oh Carl, I was not aiming this at you but you did make me LMAO:D Now I remember reading yoiur post about those BiCentennials! It is a good point about what people hoard though. A few years ago one of my friend's dad passed away. He had been collecting on and off for years. I have known these people all of my life so they asked me to look at his stuff. Well, I bought 28 rolls of BiCentennial quarters for face. ONLY because my local dealer will occasional pay $1.05 for them if he has a buyer at $1.10 in bulk. I bought all of the Ikes at face value as well (over 100). He had about $700 in $2 notes (bills). I thumbed through them pulled about 5 out and told my buddy to take his mom out to the gambling boats. His nearly complete set of Lincolns, nearly complete set of Washington quarters and decent set of Indian Cents I told them to keep but if they ever wanted to sell them I was interested and would pay good money. I also bought over 3000 wheats at 2 cents each. She wanted to give them to me at face but hell, this lady probably changed a diaper of mine or two at some point in my life. I basically weeded out the garbage as it were and if they ever decide to sell they won't get ripped off. I have known these people all of my life. Unfortunately it rarely works that way.[/QUOTE]
