<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BATTERup646, post: 2425919, member: 75931&quot;]So, just an hour ago I walked into my LCS. As usual, I greet the owners (Husband and Wife). So I first asked to look at their V nickel/buffalo nickel/IHC box. I take out a nicely toned 1888 IHC. It was in a G-3 condition, but it was nice and purple/blue. I then asked to see their wheat penny box. Apparently, the wheat penny box didn&#039;t have anything for sale, it was off limits, but the husband I guess didn&#039;t know about it. I look around taking a few pennies in and out. Then I grabbed a teen date. It had a D on it. The last number was faded out, it kind of looked like a 1912 D, and I thought &quot;Eh, they already looked at them all, I guess they want to sell it fast.&quot; I put it in my hand. So I tell her I&#039;m done. She comes over and looks at my coins with a magnifying glass. She looks at me and says &quot;What date did you think this is?&quot; I told her I thought it was a 1912. She says she thinks it&#039;s a 1914. She goes over to her husband and starts talking. Meanwhile, I was thinking they might think I was trying to buy a key date for $2.50, they might be mad, etc. I have an anxiety reaction.</p><p>I could feel my face turn red, chest thumping. Their son comes over and hands me a 1944 D nickel, and says I&#039;ve earned it. The wife comes over and says she thinks it&#039;s a 1914 and they are going to authenticate it, and tells me the nickel is a gift. At most it&#039;s worth $2.50, but hey, it&#039;s silver! I told them I wish the coin turns out to be real, and they said they&#039;ll let me know next time. I left with that &quot;Well I screwed that up!&quot; feeling. I don&#039;t think I&#039;ll return, it&#039;s too embarrassing... I mean i could&#039;ve come home with a $200 coin and not know about it at all.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="7">TL;DR</font></p><p><font size="4">I found what might have been a 1914 D in a penny box that wasn&#039;t supposed to be searched. I thought it was a 1912. I gave it back to them. (Please take the time to read the post though)</font></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4">If I do come back. (Maybe a month or so) I&#039;ll tell you about it.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
