I wouldn't qualify those as cherry picked but maybe picking a coin from a line up of Barber's priced at melt but even then that was just luck and a matter of a coin being skipped over when taking coins out of the bin and putting them in the coin books. It also has to do with the PM dealer just giving good deals and not having to do with cherry picking because I also have picked coins that were overpriced but he does take returns.
