There's a traveling salesman, on one fine day he stops by a large retail chain to peddle his wares. To his surprise the chain buys everything he has to offer. He then returns with to his head office with the store's cheque in hand, he receives a very large commission cheque. Now it seems that his lifelong dream to finish his mint-state Mercury dime collection can be realized. The next week he is traveling through a small town with only a single coin dealer, he goes into the shop and asks if the owner has a 1916D Mercury dime. The shop keeper does have one (and only one). He goes into the back while the salesman is looking around and gets from the safe a spectacular, toned 1916D. He shows the gem of a coin to the salesman, the sun coming in through the window radiates all the colors of the rainbow off the coin, the salesman is impressed. He asks the proprietor of the shop if he might have one that is not toned. The owner says he has another one in the back. He takes the coin from the salesman and slips into the back of the store and takes out his coin dip and dips the coin. It is now quite a nice blazing white BU. He brings this out to show the salesman. The salesman really likes the coin and mentions that he has had a good week lately and says "Great, I'll take both of them."

One day they drove up to an old farmhouse and noticed a (fill in the blank- some rare Louis XV somethin' or other) sitting out on the porch. Upon asking the farmer about it, he said that it had always been there, as far as he knew, and they kept animal feed in it.
So dollar signs light up in the brothers' eyes, and they offer the farmer forty bucks, knowing that this piece of furniture, even in its somewhat weathered state, will bring thousands. The farmer accepts their offer, but they have a problem- they are in a compact car and not driving their truck on this particular day. So they tell the farmer they'll be back later that afternoon with the truck.
Upon their return, they are surprised to see the piece of furniture missing from the porch. They ask the farmer about this, and he says,
"Well, seein's as you fellers said you wanted it fer firewood, I got ma axe and busted 'er up real good fer ya."
He meekly approaches the bar and sits down on a stool at the end. The alligator takes the stool next to him.
The bartender approaches:
"What''ya have?"
the customer, in hushed tones heems and hawes:
"um, do you, er, ah, um, "do you serve, uhm, do you serve coin dealers here?"
"why of course we do!, we don't discriminate against anybody"
"whew - what a relief" sighs the customer
"lemme have a shot and a beer, and gimmie a coin dealer for my alligator!!"
The good news is, a bus load of coin dealers went off a cliff ...
The bad news is, there was one empty seat ...
