A few years ago, I went to an Estate sale, and purchased a 1904 2 1/2 dollar gold coin, that had been mounted for a necklace for "TWO dollars". It was in the costume jewelry case.

Just goes to show that even those who price items at estate sales can miss things :~).

Oh yeah, I believe it. This happens all the time. Every day. People are doing their spring cleaning and they just want to get rid of stuff, so they're in a hurry to get it sold. So, so much is often overlooked.
