<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jay4202472000, post: 1649205, member: 42573&quot;]Let&#039;s say...an old farmer has been having a streak of bad luck with his crops.&nbsp; His grandfather always had the best crop in the county.&nbsp; He decides to get into his grandfather&#039;s, passed down, coin collection to get a good luck charm.&nbsp; The farmer knows nothing about numismatics and takes out a BU 1909-S VDB wheat cent.&nbsp; He puts it in his pocket and at the end of every day he rubs the coin, with his dirty hands, once or twice while saying a little prayer.&nbsp; This goes on for about a month.&nbsp; So now this is an AU with dirt caked around the date, mint mark, liberty, ect.&nbsp; One day he forgets to take it out and lay it on the table beside his bed.&nbsp; He wakes up upset and looks everywhere and can&#039;t find it, never thinking about checking the dirty clothes.&nbsp; He figures he has lost it in the fields somewhere.&nbsp; His wife proceeds to wash his overalls.&nbsp; The coin never falls out of his pocket or gets dinged because there is a whole load of clothes.&nbsp; He puts on the overalls a few days later and doesn&#039;t notice it.&nbsp; He goes to the gas station to get some gas for his tractor.&nbsp; He pumps $20.01 worth of gas.&nbsp; He pays with a $20 bill and fishes out the 1909-S VDB without noticing.&nbsp; I go in and get a drink and receive the cent in change.&nbsp; ***Was the coin worth more the day he took off his overalls?&nbsp; Even though it had a months worth of field dirt caked on it.&nbsp; Should I get my hands dirty and rub it gently so it doesn&#039;t look cleaned?</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope everyone enjoys this!&nbsp; I had fun writing it!&nbsp; Please chime in.&nbsp; What do you guys and gals think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
