<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 8259287, member: 24314&quot;]I&#039;ll probably go to hell for this...</p><p><br /></p><p>A coin dealer I worked for a long time ago supplied the Home Shopping Network Show with &quot;unsearched&quot; bags of wheats in different amounts per bag.&nbsp; To provide the coins, he advertised to buy wheats from dealers all over the U.S. (already sorted by decade).&nbsp; This is what I did, each bag was dumped into the big bucket for the decade.&nbsp; Steal cents were kept separate.&nbsp; I was to take one hand full of teens; one of 20&#039;s; one of thirties; two of forties; and two of fifties.&nbsp; Dump them into a bucket on a scale and add 50&#039;s until the weigh gave them more cents than the stated amount in the bag.&nbsp; Then I&#039;d throw in one or two VDB&#039;s, some steel cents, and one Indian cent before sealing the bag.&nbsp; The deal included a printed page with Lincoln cent values and a kids plastic magnifier.&nbsp; The bags sold out every time with some repeat customers.&nbsp; Watching Robert talk up the deal - always given a &quot;name&quot; like the &quot;Bluegrass Hoard&quot; or &quot;Arizona Bank Hoard&quot; even made me want to buy those unsearched bags.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> In all truthfulness, there may have been a well circulated 1917 DDO or a 44-D/S in a bag; but I&#039;ll guarantee all the dealers selling the coins, my boss, and the TV Station made more profit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie47" alt=":greedy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> than any of the collectors. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; It is not about profit though.&nbsp; Think of all the <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> fun we provided to the buyers&nbsp; searching those bags of treasures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
