<p>[QUOTE="jimmy-bones, post: 52587, member: 2794"]For me, my best shop experience turned into my worst. A few years back, I was collecting high grade MS Ikes. I asked the store-keep if they had any IKEs, and he pulled a dusty PVC pocket coin binder from a shelf. The binder contained virtually every date IKE, many in MS condition. I began my cherry-picking and pulled several MS 65 and up Ikes. (Mind you these were not the "s" mint marks, and I couldn't believe the prices!!) Each 2x2 coin holders simply stated BU and were priced between $10-$20. I was picking up $60-$150 Ikes for $10-$20!! Well, the next time I stopped back to get a few more dates, the store-keep was on to me. All the MS Ikes were out of the PVC binder and slabbed in air-tite holders. They were fetching premiums well over Fair Value and I realized I lost my find![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
