<p>[QUOTE=&quot;costello, post: 1589863, member: 42025&quot;]Maybe the dealer was just struck by the kid using the word &quot;shiny&quot; to describe an $80 coin he just bought?&nbsp; No doubt there was some sort of stereotyping going on as the term connotes maybe not just a lack of knowledge, but indulgence? </p><p><br /></p><p>If I were looking at expensive coins with my son and he said he liked ones that were shiny, I imagine a dealer would say something like, &quot;If you like shiny, for $3.95 Littleton Coin can hook you up with three shiny 1943 steel cents and a set of four 2009 Lincoln cents.&nbsp; Not only are the 2009 coins shiny, but each tail side has a different picture on it.&nbsp; It&#039;s pretty neat!&quot;&nbsp; If he were less condescending, he might send me off to look at a few cheap proofs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
