Message:: [QUOTE="charley, post: 8769071, member: 5372"]Reasonable questions. I remember a similar type situation, when I was very young. What was occurring was the "searcher" found a gazillion same date same denomination coins, of which there was a known "rarity". The "searcher" claimed he had been offered the opportunity to go thru the coins, under the condition there would be no mention of where the coins were located/how accumulated, etc. There were not many of the rarity pieces known at the time.  All of a sudden, the "searcher" had 17 (all legitimate) and surmised there were many many more, and it was not as rare as previously thought. The going price dropped in value for a while, in the local area-DC. Always made me wonder if the "searcher" bought the known pieces at a reduced price, or was sincere in helping the average hobbyist, or a Dealer. The coin: 64 AH Kennedy 1/2 Dollar. So....who knows?[/QUOTE]
