<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim M, post: 599909, member: 4791&quot;]Interesting reading these stories.</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember decades ago going into a coin shop in a little town not far from where I lived. I had collected Lincolns and Jeffersons from circulation and had most of them so I was looking for something different, Rosies and Washingtons just didnt look all that interesting to me for whatever reason.&nbsp;&nbsp; I walked in the coin shop with 5 bucks!&nbsp; Alot of money back then especially for a young lad.&nbsp; I was intrigued by the type coins, I settled on something within my budget, a nice shiney 1841 Large Cent.&nbsp; I say shiney because it was not luster.&nbsp; I thought that I had hit the jackpot, looking at the redbook, looking at the coin, I knew that I had found a treasure.&nbsp; Turns out that years later when I rediscoved my beloved 1841 it was in fact a F-15 with eraser burns all over it.&nbsp; : )&nbsp; Probably still worth the 5 bucks I paid for it decades ago.&nbsp; I wonder where its hiding now.....&nbsp; &nbsp; Strange how when you think back on a thread like this how a delaer will basically steal a kid blind.&nbsp; I&#039;ll never forget that man telling me that I couldnt go wrong with this coin, it was a keeper in anyones collection.&nbsp; Sad to think that I am sure this man is no longer with us, as I would pay this gentleman a visit and remind him of an very impressionable statement he had made to me 45 years ago.&nbsp; Then call my wife and ask for bail money. : )&nbsp; &nbsp; jk....&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the short walk down memory lane..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
