<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3081163, member: 19463"]When we say 'find' a coin, some of us mean searching the big online sales using acsearch or the higher priced options. Others 'find' mid-low LRB's in junk boxes where a coin like this could be found at $10 (unidentified). $1 days are pretty much over. So are the days when medium/large shows included junk boxes of $10 coins. 20 years ago, they were not hard to find but, table prices being what they are, we have slab sellers rather than kindly old gentlemen who cater to kids on a budget. Certainly no VCoins dealer will be selling the coin for $1 or $10 because the lowest coin in stock is more than that. </p><p><br /></p><p>I miss the good old days when a dealer at Baltimore had bags and bags of pickouts from $2 (AE4's) to $500 (decent looking tetradrachms). He still does Baltimore but no longer offers customers a wet-wipe to clean up after going through his stock. Finding coins was more fun that way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
