<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RBBDoughty, post: 2305523, member: 73447&quot;]Honesty is always the best avenue. The biggest varieties I&#039;ve picked are off of a dealer who knows I&#039;m picking. I&#039;ve lectured him several times about checking his stuff for varieties, but he simply doesn&#039;t have the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>In fact, he is happy when I find a variety in his stuff, because he doesn&#039;t care and I do. He gets $$$ and I get a variety perhaps worth 10x or 100x like you say. My last pick was the <a href="http://indianvarieties.com/cents/indian-head-cents/1880-indian-head-penny/1880-occ-001/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://indianvarieties.com/cents/indian-head-cents/1880-indian-head-penny/1880-occ-001/" rel="nofollow">1880 OCC-001</a> in XF45 for $35.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, he invites me to come pick him. There is some mutual benefit and respect there. In a way, I keep him in business and he keeps me searching. Isn&#039;t that the definition of numismatic harmony?</p><p><br /></p><p>RULE #1: Be honest.</p><p>RULE #2: If you are second guessing a decision, something isn&#039;t right. Make it right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
