Message:: [QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 589243, member: 12965"]I read the threads dealing with "sleepers" and yet I know the biggest sleeper of all time is the coin collector.  :goof:   I posted the last item for a reason and I also showed you that peeps misattribute Machin's Mills coppers all the time and they also list them without knowing they are Machin's Mills, so they are a true sleeper because peeps don't want to take the time to educate themselves on how to spot them. Here's a good example: <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=380123093908" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=380123093908" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=380123093908</a> If you will look on page 64 of the 2009 Red Book, you will find out how much that's worth and then you might figure out there's a whole lot more to collecting than you imagined and it's called COPPER!  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <a href="http://coinfacts.com/colonial_coins/machins_mills/1788_machins_mills_vlack_19_87C.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coinfacts.com/colonial_coins/machins_mills/1788_machins_mills_vlack_19_87C.htm" rel="nofollow">http://coinfacts.com/colonial_coins/machins_mills/1788_machins_mills_vlack_19_87C.htm</a> Ribbit  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
