<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tight wad, post: 424587, member: 15116&quot;]My wife is a natural collector. She collects McCoy Pottery,Antiques, and so it was a given she would collect coins with me. I am a bit of a tight wad, she is not. I am a bit of a jerk sometimes, she is sweet and a good conversationalist. So, when I return to that new coin shop we visited, I shall have to apologise for some of my remarks.</p><p>&nbsp; I always buy junk &quot;bargains&quot; which turn out not to be, she pays top prices for coins which prove to be worth more than she paid, when we check Coin Talk magazine or other up to date sources.</p><p>&nbsp;So when she decided to collect a few Indian Heads, the dealer had some junk at $1.50 each, and she asked to see the ones in 2X2&#039;s. She always asks my opinion very politely (and then does as she pleases), knowing I&#039;m probably wrong. When I saw a price of $6, I&#039;m afraid I raised my voice! </p><p>&nbsp;The dealer politely stated the coin was a &quot;full liberty band&quot; and then I REMBERED ARIZONA JACK. He had a gem perfect I.H. on this site awhile back and it even had diamonds down the tails of the headband. I grabbed my glass, and the coins....yep, diamonds.</p><p>&nbsp; When we got home, she looked up her coin in the redbook, and it was worth more than she paid. She said &quot;I&#039;m going to get a small collection of these.This penny is 1907 and 1909 was the last year they made them. I&#039;m going for 1900 through 1909.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;Now, it looks like I have a collector on my hands. She&#039;s already done the State Quarters! </p><p>&nbsp;You can bet we are going back to THAT coin shop again, and this time I&#039;ll be more polite.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
