[QUOTE="planman2014, post: 2330661, member: 71412"]Thread to share stories of raw coin or coins that you did not buy because A) Did not collect. B) Way beyond what you want to spend C) Not confident enough to buy raw. When I first started collecting I had a guy in Des Moines claim to have an 1893-s Morgan raw. I just could not believe it. I was first starting out and he wanted $4000 and I don't think I'd spent a total of $1000 at that point. I passed. 2 weeks later.......friend bought it, came back AU Details. Damn. Part II: I know an entire family that has a hoard of ancient coins. It was split 4 ways between the children. I am sure it is worth a ton of cash but I do not collect Ancients and have told them I am a novice in that area. They still email me pictures of a few coins every know and then and I spent hours researching them. They could have a 10 million dollar collection for all I know.[/QUOTE]
