yeh, your right.

I just thought of something really stupid, when the guy at the coin factory picks it up and packages it, its sort of used.
When the mint sells it to the coin dealer and the coin dealer sells it to the collector, its already changed hands 3 x times but not been spent in the real sense of being put into a pocket or on a dressing table.

I WONDER HOW MANY PINBALL MACHINES, BRAND NEW IN BOX, EVER STAYED UN-OPENED, AND WERE SOLD A FEW TIMES ETC ETC FROM SELLER TO SELLER, LIKE A COLLECTABLE. THAT WOULD BE SO COOL TO HAVE ONE OR TEN.

Could you imagine the Pinball Industry today if there were alot of brand new, never used machines , still bouncing around in factory boxes.
I saw a post on an American site where a guy had both a Addams Family Gold and a Twilight Zone, never opened, and ten years later he still had them , unopened.
He reckons he sold both at Sotherbys Auctions In New York i think from memory for something like $250 grand, each. WOW.

ANY ONE GOT ANY NEW IN BOX MACHINES FROM THE 90'S. LOL. I will take a Monster bash , and the list goes on. LOL.
