<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stalyn, post: 1345439, member: 35551&quot;]This is more of a horror story than a find.</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1962 at the tender age of 13 we had a huge blizzard in Conn. My mother sent me out to shovel her car out of the snow. While doing so, I found a little black purse which i immediately opened. In it, I found a 1916-d BU coin. This coin was so gorgeous if I had it today it would be somewhere in 66-68 rating possibly higher.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was collecting coins back then as i had a paper route and had almost completed the mercury dimes the 1916 i think was the last one i needed. So i brought the coin to my local coin dealer who promptly offered me $250 for it. I figured if he offered that, it had to be worth double so i took it home and added it to my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>The next day my older brother was visiting and i went to show him my new dime. I was shocked to see that my other brother who still lived at home, had taken it and put it in the gum ball machine at our local store. I went to the store, begged the owner to open up the gum machine and let me have my dime back. He said once it&#039;s inside, it belongs to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>So that folks, is how i lost out on my fortune (besides mother selling my baseball and comic collection)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
