<p>[QUOTE="Sam_I_am.MiaFLUSA, post: 3124364, member: 84102"]A prime example of why one shouldnt believe everything one reads! Bowers & Merena reported that the coin was sold out of the Garrett Collection at $625k, however reliable sources in late-'81/early-'82 related to us that the coin had actually been "returned to the book!" For whomever's & whatever reasons, Q. David and the powers-at-be of General Mills, B&M's then parent company, decided the coin's "non-sale" wouldn't do. We were told a <i>horsefeathers</i> story that the new owner had experienced a reversal and was prepared to take a substantial loss to raise money. Theoretically it made no difference to us and we proceeded with the purchase. But to this day, what irks me most is that Q.D.B., who had to have known the details of the reality, is still perceived as so damn squeaky clean …more <i><b>horsefeathers</b></i>. Obviously it's water under the bridge and I've had to move on, but more than a third-of-a-century later, such things still should disturb us all. </p><p> <b><i>Sam_I_am </i></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
