<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 2157142, member: 21782&quot;]LOL, I&#039;m a market maker.&nbsp; I started buying and selling long ago.&nbsp; MY first &quot;big&quot; flip was in 1974, with the 1974-s cents, which were suppose to be limited until Mint Director, Mary Brookes, was &quot;appalled at the speculation&quot; and doubled the production.&nbsp; The grocery store were I worked got new boxes of these, so I bought them for face value, $25/box and sold them for $5/roll to dealers up &amp; down the S.F. Peninsula.&nbsp; It was a little tougher than that, there was a penny shortage at the time, so I had to find boxes of cents to trade with the store.&nbsp; Well, that lasted for a few months, until the bubble burst with the announcement the Mint would do a full run of 74-s cents, but I did manage to flip a lot of rolls and I was hooked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
