<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 404501, member: 9204&quot;]I can kinda commiserate with the unskilled cherrypicker. </p><p><br /></p><p>Last summer I started collecting US-Philippine coins by variety, and would cherry pick at shows. Now, when I look at a coin, I generally don&#039;t look at the writing on the flip, so that I can form an unbiased opinion. The first coin I pulled out was a 20 centavo - a good overmintmark variety. I put it aside. The second coin was a 50 centavo - another good variety. So on and so forth. I thought I&#039;d hit the jackpot! Then I noticed the prices on the flips, these coins were expensive! I thought &quot;what the heck? These things should be cheap.&quot; Then I realized they were already attributed by variety. I ended up telling the dealer what I just did; we ended up having a good conversation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
