[QUOTE="Jako lipo, post: 227575, member: 5775"]im a YN so i dont have too many stories to tell but i think i got a good one here Since i just love coins about 6 months ago my Dad was telling people i collected coins in case they had some so i could buy them or look at them So first off he said it to this women who said ya i got a few coins my grandfather did some coin dealing on the side so i started to get a little exicted here Well she came over to my house the next day with tons of coins in a plain plastic bag and i was getting disapointed but then when they came closer i saw the glint of gold and i crossed my fingres hoping they wernt cleaned so she had a folder of incomplete morgans, some modern junk, some loose silver dollars, and 8GOLD COINS 2 indian 5, 2 indian 2.5, 3 liberty, and 1 classic head and stragight off i realized that non were cleaned and all of them were unc in the morgan bag they had some nice unc ones but on the backs of all the CCs there were very heavy dark oil looking stuff that killed its value so right now i was pumped and she let me have them for the afternoon till she picked them up later and i would give her a rough price So i looked closer at the coins and the classic head was a 1839 C 2.5$ which is a rare date and there was a 1861 2.5$ in really great condition so i gave her a stimate of 5-10 GRAND on the classic and 1-2 Grand on the earlier liberty the next day we went to the coin store to send them to NGC well they came back later as Ms-62 for the classic which is 12-18 GRANd and ms-64 for the lib which is about 1 grand In the begining they said they were gunna sell but i think they caught the collectors bug and they told me a month after they will not sell the coins which to me is the best part becuase i would hate for these babys to go to a investor So in the end i helped make these people relize that they had 13-19 Grand in that big pplastic bag and that collecting coins is fun Sorry for my rambling post Jako[/QUOTE]
