<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silentnviolent, post: 2223610, member: 8797&quot;]The coin has problems:</p><p><br /></p><p>Very worn to the point of obfuscation of the date. Crazy frenzied scratching like a numismatic Michael Myers had stared at it for a decade in hell and become enraged at it, mutilating it and tossing it aside when he emerged on his murderous vendetta.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Years later, it was found by Little Johnny who brought it to a coin shop. The proprietor had just come back from an eye exam and his pupils were still dilated, but he was astounded at the luck of the young man before him. An 1885 nickel! He offered the excited lad $250 which was happily accepted. Leaving the shop, he started spending the money immediately in an online bidding war on his phone, only to be reclaimed by One Greater after falling into an open manhole.</p><p><br /></p><p>The shop owner put this coin into this evil little holder, labeled it, priced it, and displayed it in his case. Many people expressed their amazement at the high value of such a worn and badly scratched coin. Then, one day, a potential buyer wanted to inspect it.</p><p><br /></p><p>After a very short inspection, indeed perhaps only a glance, the would-be customer announced that the coin was not what it was labeled as. He stormed out after using words like &quot;intentional deception&quot; and &quot;fraud&quot; and the poor shop owner was bewildered. </p><p><br /></p><p>He sat down, and looked at the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>After a a few hours failing to convince himself that the non-customer had been wrong, frustrated that he had lost both the initial investment, and a customer of means, he simply scribbled corrections onto the evil little holder and threw it into the junk bin. It remained there for the short time it took for the court filings alleging &quot;deceptive business practices,&quot; and other such officially sanctioned extortionary phrases to arrive in the mail. </p><p><br /></p><p>The dealer was no longer a young man and his small business could not financially sustain a lengthy court battle. He closed up shop and consigned his entire inventory to an auction firm. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now it rests with me as the ethereal power of this cursed coin regains strength. My fate is yet unwritten......</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The best part of this thing is the obvious disappointment and frustration expressed on the holder. This pleases and amuses me.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]436043[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
