I thought that I would throw a little trivia question out there and see how many folks answer it correctly or get close. I will wait a few days to post the answer or post an acknowledgement when it is correctly answered! Question: When is a searched Wheat Cent considered to be unsearched? Frank
Never, because all coins have been searched through at one time. If they have been in a bag for 20 years, well, somebody put them in there, and read the dates and saw, and just because somebody comes and picks it up, makes it unsearched to them, but not completely unsearched, and it becomes searched, once the coins are taken out and looked at.
No correct answers yet but keep trying! You will need to think outside the box to get this one! Frank
Okay, I say: When you search your pocket for change to pay at the register (store) and count it out without looking and spend a wheatie. You searched for the change, and it was unsearched (for a wheatie).
When the searched wheat cent is pulled from circulation then resold without the seller having searched for key dates, errors, etc. making the searched coin fully un-searched... which is a good find for a buyer, esp. if it's been procured for minimal cost per the special attributes.
I'm Thinking :rolling: That didn't work :smile Must be too late for me, nothing else is coming to mind
Well, I am going to give it to PennyGuy, Rollhunter1994 and ziggy9! The full answer was to Metal Detect (Search) and find a Wheat Cent that had been buried pretty much since it was produced and which has a high probability that it was unsearched for Errors and Varieties. Thanks everyone for the participation! Maybe I can come up with another, much harder Trivia Quiz later and offer a nice Error or Variety coin as a prize to the person that gets the answer. Frank
Thanks Frank, but I have to admit that I wasn't thinking of "detecting" type of search. Still, it was fun.
when it is found, it was searched, when you pass it on it becomes unsearchable by the next person. Keeping it in circulation
