<p>[QUOTE=&quot;borgovan, post: 556730, member: 13016&quot;]Oh! I just remembered more of what I wanted to share:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I thought I would be offered many more coins to purchase than I was. First, I always see guys selling at shows. Second, because of the down economy here in Michigan, and more locally in Detroit (Livonia, where the show was held, is only a few miles from the Detroit border.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, I was offered a complete set of Mercury dimes, which I looked at. I&#039;m pretty confident buying the 1916-D raw, but this one had a funny looking mintmark, so I declined. It just wasn&#039;t boxy, you know? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was also offered a roll of 1922 Peace dollars in EF/AU for $300. I declined to purchase this as well. I might, maybe have been able to sell them at that price, but I wasn&#039;t going to buy them there.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, a guy showed me a Presidential dollar (don&#039;t remember which one) that had doubled edge inscription, with one of the inscriptions upside down. I had never heard of this variation before, but I asked around, and apparently a batch of these things was stamped, and then sent back through to be stamped again. Very, very strange. He didn&#039;t offer these for sale, but they were neat.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, the wildest story of the day: A guy came in with an old $2.50 gold piece that he FOUND IN A ROLL OF CENTS!!! That&#039;s insane! He tried to sell it to the guy sharing my table, and I was asked for an opinion of authenticity. I couldn&#039;t call it either way, and apparently neither could anyone else. Ken Potter weighed the thing and came to the conclusion it was real gold, so at least the guy has that working for him. It was an older gentleman, and his story was convincing, so I don&#039;t think it was a scam. Can you imagine finding that in a roll of cents??????</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Okay. I think that&#039;s it for now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
