I remember being in a dealer's shop, listening to him field calls a few days after Paul Harvey or somebody similar ran a factually-lacking piece about somebody finding a '43 copper cent in a bowl on top of their refrigerator, or something like that.

I was about to buy Bob Campbell's AU58 1943 Copper for $50K when that story broke. He decided to keep it because of the added attention it was bringing.

If I were to forward to you all of the telephone calls we received about those issues for one month, you would cringe every time you thought about them. And these are not calls from people who are interested in coin collecting. They think they found the winning lottery ticket. >>
