Thought I`d share an experience I had about ten years ago. One night on my way home from work, I was riding the bus (as usual). As fate has it, there was only one seat left and it was next to me. A fella got on the bus and took the last seat next to me. He was an older man probably near retirement. I could tell he was a construction worker because his "suit" looked dirty from a long day. After a few blocks, he asked me if I knew anything about coins. I said "yeah, a little bit". He then pulled out from his pocket a 1914 $5 Indian Head Gold coin! He told me while demolishing a house that day, he stumbled upon a jar full of them inside the wall of the house!!!! I almost flipped, but I didn`t want to attract attention. I calmly told him "You really have something there". lol. That coin was pristine and he said the others were just like it! That really made my day!
