Luckily not an expensive one!

I went to the local flea market today, and browsed the usual booths and noticed one dealer had numerous proof and mint sets, so I went for a look ~ there was the good one...the 1999 silver proof set with a tag of 250. Figuring the dealer hadn't checked his books lately, I snagged it, and grabbed a 2000 set as well.

In my haste for the deal, I hadn't even checked for the coveted Deep Cameos, In my car I opened the boxes to check out my new "treasures" -- imagine my astonishment, when there...staring back at me was 2 2000 sets of quarters, and NO 1999's !!

I hurried back to the dealer...expecting him of accusing me of switching them out. To my surprise he sheepishly handed over a 1999 Proof set of quarters and took the extra 2000's back.

I Got lucky..he VERY easily could have said all sales final, they were in there when I sold them,..etc.

I Just wanted to share a good & potentially expensive lesson learned..Check INSIDE the boxes before leaving !!

Just because your a genius, doesn't mean you neccesarily have common sense !!

thanks for listening :-)
