<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ldhair, post: 26041221, member: 11540&quot;]Hidden Treasure</p><p><br /></p><p>Thirty one years ago, I went to an IRS auction. They had several storage units filled with all kinds of art work, a lot of high dollar items.</p><p>It rained all day. About 50 bidders showed up and we set in the rain for several hours.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was only one lot I was interested in. It was a zip lock bag with several well worn Walkers. I could see there was something else in the bag. Very few were bidding on the bag and I was able to buy it for about 3X face value. I won the bag for $15. I was wet from head to toe. It had been a long day so I paid and left. </p><p>The funny thing was, the IRS did not charge any sales tax at the auction. </p><p><br /></p><p>Fast forward to the FUN show last year. I gave the coin to Skip at ICG for conservation. It had a bit of haze I thought was PVC. It turned out really nice. I&#039;ll guess the value to be about $500.
