<p>[QUOTE="goincarcrazy, post: 2221775, member: 25004"]I worked at a coin shop through college and one day this little old lady came in with a set of gold coins her father got as a retirement gift for being the president of a bank. All well and good, but instead of there being a normal $20 double eagle, in its place was a 1860 Clark, Gruber & Co. Pikes Peak $20 coin. The fact that I got to hold it and look it over before it went off for authentication and grading was amazing. On top of that, in a separate little box was a Humbert $10 gold coin (which also went off for authentication and grading). Unfortuantely I never got to see the coins after they came back from NGC. The dealer tried his best to buy her set but after it all, she decided to keep everything (I assume once she learned of the value, it'll be going to her kids).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
