<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lugia, post: 1179079, member: 21025&quot;]my best is when i traded my ADMIRAL 19A11 tv for part of someones collection of large cents. when i first saw the tv at an antique shop it fully worked. tube and sound. the 2nd time i tried it out the tube burnt out but i still bought it anyway because i liked the look of it alot and thats when i was collecting radios also. i never got around to fixing it because thats when i started to lose my interest for having a bunch of large radios in my room. years later i posted it on craigslist and i think i was trying to get 80 (I kinda forgot). got one person to look at it but not interested enough to make a fair offer. the 2nd person was a guy who was into radios and the whole shabang. must of been talking to the guy for 60-90 minutes. he wasnt really interested in buying the tv but i asked him about coins - then large cents and what is the chance that someone else you dont even know has their own collection of large cents. i ask him if he would make a trade instead of paying me which he said he would. he came over the next day with his book. it was missing alot of the early dates. he only had 4 draped busts and 1 classic head if i remember right. alot of matrons and petites. he gave me alot of his doubles and i think i got to choose one more which was between a 1805 and 1802. i took the 1805. alot of the doubles that i got were a 1803 and a bunch of petite heads. i think i got about 11 in all and then he gave me a late date lincoln cent book i dont think he cared about. he offered to give me one of those new york east india trading co coins but i said i didnt care for the colonial stuff. he was going to try and repair the tv with his parts. he also said he had newcombs book which he would give me if he could find it but we never talked again. anyways thanks to him i had more of a collection instead of just some corroded 1803 i got off of ebay. thats got to be my best story.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>this story also happened to be one of my first threads here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
