<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 376368, member: 8033&quot;]Well,</p><p><br /></p><p>I made the boss happy today at the coin shop. Think he may just want to keep me around a bit more.</p><p><br /></p><p>He brought me in to help him catch up on organizing and every time he thinks there&#039;s nothing to do believe me I FIND something.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, yesterday toward closing he bought a bunch of junk silver. LOTS of dimes so I ran them through the counter. Some BU Roosevelts and a smattering of Mercs. Almost 1000 dimes total and I told him I&#039;d like to get a better look at them when I came in today as I thought some of mercs looked older and a few looked BU.</p><p><br /></p><p>Normally, these would go into a bucket but it was slow this morning so I started looking closer. Well I DID find a few BU Mercs, 2 1931-D, a 26-S and some decent 16-S.</p><p>Did I forget to mention the 16-D? YES A 1916-D!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>I had a regular customer look at it before I showed him to make sure I wasn&#039;t hallucinating.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse is full G4. Reverse has weak rims but a strong mintmark. AG3+ no problem and bought as junk silver.</p><p>This stuff is usually just &quot;spot checked&quot; as anyone in a busy shop can tell you. He NEVER has time to check but I had a good feeling. He&#039;s very glad I did. Still it freaked me out when I flipped that coin over and saw the D mintark.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now understand that he hired me to help organize but I think I&#039;m making a strong point for keeping me around.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kind of tooting my own horn here but I dig deeper than he does because I just plain get bored at times. I have pulled several pieces of &quot;junk&#039; out and told him to put them on ebay. He has gotten 2 or 3 times more for them this way.</p><p><br /></p><p>He&#039;s also been having me choose Silver Eagles to send in for grading. Honestly don&#039;t care for this but do it anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few weeks ago he bought 10 of the 2008 reverse of 2007 mules. Told me to pick the nicest five.</p><p>He got word today. One got an MS69. FOUR got MS70 from NGC!</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, he had a pretty good day I&#039;d say. Mine wasn&#039;t too shabby either!</p><p><br /></p><p>clembo[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
