A find-a-day keeps the blues away: ILMJ!

I love my job! You ask why? Well, I have the privilege of having a position that affords me the opportunity(O.K., responsibility) to examine nearly every piece that comes through the doors, wether it be the front or back. Finding coins that I never expected to find as a collector makes the experience so rewarding that I just have to share it... for example, an 1878 7/8 TF VAM 44 Morgan dollar(AU-50) found on the 3rd day at the new job, an 1893-S Morgan dollar(Good) found in a bulk bin of culls purchased wholesale, an 1839 No Drapery Seated half(Extra fine), a 1909-S V.D.B. cent(VF) found in a wheat cent bag being sorted by dates, and just today an 1896-o Morgan dollar Micro mintmark counterfeit(Fine, formerly TOP 100 VAM 4).
Not every single day is a treasure hunt, but having the anticipation of treasure hunting every day makes up for all of the ordinary humdrum duties of sorting,counting, weighing, packaging and last but not least, diplomatically handling those phone calls that start off with "I got such and such-what's it worth?" image
