Chose the busted Roman coin over the shiny one at a flea market in Tulsa

The dealer had two denarii, one worn down to a blob and one with a clear emperor profile, and I picked the blob because it felt more 'real' for $45. My friend laughed until we got home and checked online, turns out the blob was a rare 3rd century mint error worth maybe $300, while the clean one was a common fake. Anyone else ever luck into a good buy by picking the ugly artifact?
