Has this ever happened to you? :(

Have you ever sold a coin only to find out that it was posted here later and the purchaser awarded a "you suck" because you "missed" something that they took advantage of?

I am pretty sure that happened to Mr. Holey in re: a bust half, don't remember the story, but sure he will chime in.

Naw, we are one happy close family here and I don't think a board member would take advantage of another board member.

as much as i want to ask for details...nah...please don't
i still think we should have a "sucks to be you" club to go along with the "you suck" club
at least i could get inducted into that one...

tuition can get paid in several forms...just think of those you'll find not letting that happen again...

btw

i have had the reverse...i wear an 1806 holey half dollar around my neck in name of that honor

Probably... But you can't put down someone who has studied to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.

lasvegasteddy · June 24, 2012 11:55AM

or should we ask if you have any coins for sale as i'm sure you have positive feedback
btw
it is nice to see the other guy win some too...

It was an "up until then" unknown die marriage that TWO of our people missed.

Yes, it was some kind of Mercury dime variety that I didn't bother looking at. Glad
he got the You Suck and glad I found it for him!

Not here on the boards, but I did sell an R-7 token for a quarter out of the shop. I told the old man to quit bragging or I'd come to the coin club and steal the donuts before he can get one.

I think he enjoyed the dig

You learned it, you earned it.

No, but if it does, Ill be happy for them.

Zoins · June 24, 2012 1:24PM

Be happy for the coin now that it's found rather than languishing in obscurity.

Of course, it would be nice to get something as well, like the stores that sell winning lottery tickets.

I was a little disappointed when I found out I had sold a Washington quarter with pretty obvious doubling on the reverse. The winning bidder wasn't a forum member and the find wasn't big enough for a "you suck award" but I did feel bad when I missed that one.

I'm not really big into die pairs and VAM and Cherry-picker's guild, I'm more of a type set kind of guy. But I have found several varieties that more than made up for the one I missed.

always pays to know what your selling or congratulate the person that does

agentjim007 · June 24, 2012 8:50PM

Not sure but I have sold coins that the dealer said "I'll take it" way too quick.

CEOcoinshopcom · June 25, 2012 6:11AM

Sold "unsearched" wheat cents... had one of our guys fine a VF35 1914d..... sucks to be me, but the story got out and our wheat cent sales went up.
Some proof that we really don't search the bags that come through here......
Although, I'll bet a few of the group out there, will think we "salted" or whatever.... and you all can run with that... but honestly we move so many every week, I would have to have a staff of 2 or 3 people to search them... just not cost effective.
So I'm MORE than happy that folks are finding "keepers" in our rolls and bags.
Happy Hunting.

Yep! But keep in mind, you win some, you lose some.

Has this ever happened to you? :(
