But in most cases when somebody says they cherry picked a coin it is not a coin that was found in rolls or in a junk bin or anything like that. </p><p><br /></p><p>Cherry picking occurs when you (the buyer) know more about a particular coin in a dealer&#039;s/seller&#039;s regular inventory than the seller knows about it. In other words, because of your knowledge, you are able to identify that coin as being special, or under-graded. You are able to identify that coin as being worth considerably more than the price it is being offered at.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, finding special coins in rolls or junk bins requires you having the knowledge to identify that coin. But in cases where the coin is a well known variety or date/mint, finding it is usually more a matter of blind luck than it is one of knowledge. And it usually happens only because the dealer didn&#039;t bother to go through or even look at a batch of junk coins that he purchased. He just threw them in the junk bin or rolled them up and offered them for sale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
