<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 372684, member: 9474&quot;]Aside from the tregedy of this man&#039;s death - I don&#039;t think the media is calling colorized quarters rare.&nbsp; The way I read the article, they are saying &quot;rare coins, <i><b>including</b></i> colorized quarters&quot; a lot different than saying &quot;rare colorized quarters&quot; or &quot;rare coins which are colorized quarters&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; Its like saying my rare 1804 silver dollar was stolen, including my colorized quarter collection.&nbsp; Yes, going from one exteme to the other, but that is the media.&nbsp; In cases like this, WE need to pull our heads out of our butts and think with some common sense.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think the media is reporting this wrong.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The media is only reporting what either the police are telling them or what the family members are telling them.&nbsp; Heck, if you ask my wife, she&#039;ll tell you that I have rare coins, including my 2008 proof set. Many family members don&#039;t know what their coin collector family member owns... everything is rare to them - that way, they can get a bigger insurance check.&nbsp; Can&#039;t tell you how many times someone at work tells me about this &quot;rare&quot; silver dollar that their granddad gave them and it turns out to be an Eisenhower dollar or even a common date Morgan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
