[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 23982, member: 487"]Don't get me wrong. I am not saying that good coins cannot be found. I still find Barber coins mixed in with rolls. I even once found a Seated Half. It is easy to stumble across a nice coin who's owner did not know or appreciate the numismatic value. Finding a $50 coin in a bag of coins is not impossible. Finding a $1000 coin? I am not trying to burst the bubble of anyone here. Just to get people to think beyond what they hear. There is an old saying that you should believe none of what you hear, and only half of what you see. I don't wish to have a member or lurker of this forum to fall prey to these myths. Don't spend hard earned money on a chance. Know your material and you will enjoy the purchase for a very long time. Leave the risk taking to the fool hearty.[/QUOTE]
