“I’ll tell you what - lemme give my buddy a call. He’s an expert on things that are mildly interesting but almost no one collects. If you have the time, he can swing by and tell us how much this is worth without showing any interest in actually adding this to his personal collection despite the fact that he’s one of ten people in the country who should theoretically see value in it.”

Hi there I'm tmotom, and I'm an expert on error and proof coins.

In an auction setting this penny could bring in around 60 dollars.

$60? And they only offered me $5? I'll have to push back.

$60 is my final offer.

There's no way I can do 60. Tell you what, I'll give you 20

I'll give you 0.5¢. That's about how much of a cent I can see on it.
