More Hecklers and Scoffers
Well there he was hunting and the shop owner came out to watch. Right in front of the owner Bruce digs a nice Liberty Nickel. The thing was it was dated 1885! The owner not knowing what date is on the coin asks to see it. Bruce tosses the key-date coin to the coin dealer. When the dealer sees the date his eyes pop out and he offers $100 on the spot for it. Bruce ended up keeping the coin and now is the owner of two of them. Yes, he ended up finding a second one! I did tell you he is a better hunter than me didn?t I?
Hecklers and Scoffers Part 2
This is yet another ironic thing that happened to my friend Bruce. A few years back he was hunting in a mid-western town at a sidewalk tear-up right in front of a coin dealer?s shop. Now most of us know what coin dealers think of our finds and what they will offer for them, but just put one of our finds in a holder and in his case and watch the value of that coin go up!
