Coin Cave 54 posts Report post Posted May 25 I got this one off a lingering dealer late on the last day of a show. I asked him how much for a generic $2.50 Indian. He gave me a price. I dug the money out of my pocket. He gave me a box of slabbed coins and told me to find one. I was slow and he grabbed the box from me. There was only one in the box anyway. I guess the green in my hand was talking to him. He threw it down on the table and took my money. I didn't really look at it and wondered why he was not happy about selling me the coin. When I got to the car I found out why. A good day at the coin show. 2 Coinbuf and rrantique reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coin Cave 54 posts Report post Posted May 25 This coin's story starts back in 2000 in a resort town in Mexico. A patron of the resort needs cab fare. He only has these gold coins. He goes to the pro shop at the resort's golf course and asks for face value of the 2 gold coins for cab fare. Neither one of the two participants in this trade care one iota about the gold coins. Forward to 2015. The gold coins had been sitting in change jars with other U.S. and Mexican pocket change for years. Of course the best course of action to cash in the coins was to visit a CoinStar machine. Mexican coinage especially gold is not accepted by CoinStar. He no longer had a need for Mexican coinage or the gold. But, I did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
