<p>[QUOTE="Jhonn, post: 126875, member: 5418"]At work the other day, a co-worker of mine opened up a penny roll and out came 11 or so steelies. The thing is, 8 or so of them are in MS condition at the least (unless they've been re-plated with zinc), and I haphazardly said that they might bring in quite a few bucks a-piece (which is true if PCGS gave them an extrememly high grade, and I'm quite confident one or two or them could garner such a grade). When anyone else at work finds coins of interest (like a 1918 WHL dime someone came across once!), they gladly give them to me, but now this person thinks they're going to make some fast cash with these coins. So, I'm thinking I'm just going to tell him that that I took them to a coin shop and that they're worth less than a buck a-piece in the hopes that he gives them up to me. I don't feel bad about lying to him, because he doesn't collect coins and is just trying to make a quick buck, whereas I do and would like to keep them and appreciate their lovely steel beauty. Does anyone think this is a bad idea?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
