<p>[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 515062, member: 1242"]Yes, I do! As Ben stated in his posting, most Coin Dealers do not know Doubled Dies unless they are listed in the Red Book. I know for a fact, that many Coin Dealers do not have the time, the patience or sometimes even the eyesight to search for variety and error coins. Some will even tell you that they don't mind if you Cherrypick them, while some other Coin Dealers won't tolerate someone going through every single coin in every coin box or coin album they have. I know some Coin Dealers that only sell the basic, hot Variety or Error coins that are listed in the Red Book or Coin World and a few others Dealers that are very old and set in their ways, that won't buy or sell any type of Variety or Error coin whatsoever. Therefore, if certain Coin Dealers could care less if I Cherrypick them or others don't regularly deal in variety or error coins, then why should it bother me to Cherrypick them!!??</p><p>Also, I am paying the prices noted on the 2x2's or quoted by the Dealer so they are apparently making money on the coin(s) and feel that I am not under any obligation to inform them that the coin(s) are varieties or errors worth much more.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
