<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gatzdon, post: 296112, member: 8247&quot;]For me, it&#039;s all in the hunt.&nbsp; I&#039;ve always looked for interesting finds from circulation.&nbsp; But of course, I never had a lot of &quot;searching&quot; money.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Well, then one day this year I find about 100 washington dollars with the missing edge inscription out of 10 rolls I had my sister send up from Florida.&nbsp; My wife was like, &quot;What are you all excited about?&quot; and &quot;Yeah right?, they aren&#039;t really worth that much&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well ultimately, I sent my sister enough money to send me up about 14 boxes of dollar coins.&nbsp; This pretty much freaked my wife out.&nbsp; In the first two boxes that I got, I found another couple hundred of the error dollars.&nbsp; My wife still didn&#039;t believe me about their value.&nbsp; Of course I&#039;m all excited about the rest of the boxes, but alas the rest of the boxes didn&#039;t have any more error coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I start crawling out of the woodwork and going to coin shows, visiting dealers, trying to sell my error coins.&nbsp; After about the first 20 coins I sold, my wife totally changed her attitude.&nbsp; Now she couldn&#039;t wait for the weekend to goto another coin show.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then I really lucked out, I found an honest coin dealer in Madison WI (Jims Coins) who was willing to pay a fair price for ALL of them (minus the ones I picked out to keep for my collection).&nbsp; So I drive up there, sell them all, and bring back a healthy check.&nbsp; I told my wife that she can spend about a fourth of it anyway she wants.&nbsp; Another fourth went into my coin searching money, and the rest went into savings.</p><p><br /></p><p>NOW, my&nbsp; wife tells people how we should&#039;ve actually flown down to Florida and went Bank Hoping to buy as many dollar coins as possible.&nbsp; She won&#039;t listen when I remind her that that was not her attitude at the time[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
