I need help for a friend who got scam by a coin shop

Sir. Maybe you did not mean to apply I was making up a story. (LYING). Are maybe you did not mean to imply I should go away. Both these are insulting.
There is no excuse for your post. That is why I contacted peter.

i sure did not mean to imply you should go away what did i say to make you think that i apolgize for that. this is a great site no one should be told to go away in less there breaking the rules

 

I can see where both of you are coming from.

From the OP's perspective, it's offensive when someone says they have doubts about what you've said.

From enocihian's perspective, this is the Internet. Anyone can say something happened and how do we know they're telling the truth? When one stumbles upon inconsistencies in a story like this, then doubts natually arise.

If you offend someone, no matter how anonymous they may be, it helps to remember there's a person on the other side of your comments, and regardless of what your intent was, you can always apologize for offending them. If you don't receive an apology when you feel one is warranted, just remember, this is the Internet and there are millions of people on it at any one time, and you are not going to get along with all of them...

 

You're A True Friend!!

Biged, I trust you took no offense to my post, as it was just my relative observation. We as a society have different perspectives and priorities based on many parameters.

Although many were upset, I flew to another part of the world to correct a serious situation on the night before my departure party from a company where I'd been employed for ~30 years. The party was scheduled by others on my final day of employment, never to return, except upon personal invite/clearance. It also was a difficult decision, but communications were always available in the future. A severe condition required immediate attention. Associates/friends who knew my perspectives/priorities understood and expressed same.

I believe your friend, as you, are blessed in having the trusting relationship. I would've been honored to have yours, as I often ask of respected others, opinion/efforts for correcting an adverse situation. I hope that yours, mine, cpm9ball et al, input are accepted objectively at face value, and result in a final positive resolution. Thanks for sharing!! :thumb:

 

I think Ed is referring to this statement.

I am OK maybe a little thin skin sometimes. Sorry for my aggression. I thinks this the best group on the internet, and thank everyone for trying to help me.
Thanks Biged

i apologize for this statment i did not intend on you taking it as you should leave just that you may get better help on this situtation somewhere else

"i know its about coins but theres other sites and forums that would suit this post better"

​

 

Well, that clears a lot of things up.

 

Everything is OK. I contacted Peter and everything is good.
Thanks Biged

 

wasent realy consired about that more conserned on you taking that statement the wrong way but thanks

 

I'm sure someone must have responded but "price gouging" refers to selling items, services, or necessities at a price that is way over valued simply because there is an immediate need by many. Sandy is a good example where folks were taking "advantage" of the hurricane victims simply because they had no other source for what they needed.

 

Wow. I mean, WOW!

Before I get too judgemental, I do try to read the entire thread.

The receipt should answer all questions regarding dollar values.

 

sorry typing from phone so its worse then normal

 

Maybe she can get them all slabbed MS70 along with a special pedigree on the label stating the coin is from the "RIP-OFF HOARD" followed by having them sold on TV for $75 a coin. In the end she would still make some money on them.

 

Tyler , I will give you an apology , but only for the sarcastic way in which I said what I said . As Chris said so well in post #219 , I do believe this women is suffering from some sort of diminished capacity . A person can suffer from Dementia with basically no signs anyone would recognize . One of my best friends has recently been diagnosed with dementia at 59.
Nobody around him except his wife noticed anything . So it is possible that the op and hardly anyone else ever noticed it .

 

Just curious, what are your credentials in psychiatry and psychology?

 

I agree with BU and ask what credentials do you have to make such a diagnosis based on the facts. Furthermore, can one expect to be legally liable for the actions taken by someone who has an undiagnosed condition (I honestly don't know)?

 

It's not like people walk around through life with labels across their foreheads with their problems listed, like I HAVE AIDS, or I SUFFER FROM DEMENTIA, etc.

And from what I've read in this thread, there is much information missing that would be needed for even a qualified person, i.e. psychiatrist or psychologist, to make a diagnosis of dementia.

 

This lady is normal and sharp as as tack. She was misguided and persuade by propaganda from news media and political forums that she should invest in silver. The main thing to find out is (1) was she deceived by this coin shop? (2) what was the real transaction? This has nothing to do with her mental state other than a car salesman selling her a lemon.
Thanks Biged


Dementia is a general term for loss of memory and other mental abilities severe enough to interfere with daily life. It is caused by physical changes in the brain.
Symptoms: Difficulty remembering names and recent events is often an early clinical symptom; apathy and depression are also often early symptoms. Later symptoms include impaired judgment, disorientation, confusion, behavior changes and difficulty speaking, swallowing and walking.
New criteria and guidelines for diagnosing Alzheimer's were published in 2011 recommending that Alzheimer's disease be considered a disease with three stages, beginning well before the development of symptoms.

 

If it were a person who had previously shown great knowledge of numismatics, who then was seen to be selling off his coins for nothing or giving them away, then mental problems would be obvious and even a child could make such a diagnosis. For someone with no known background in coins or metals, to get ripped-off is much less an indicator. As for the guy who sold the coins to her, can't really fault the guy for getting as much for the coins as possible. I was once able to acquire half a dozen rolls of 1963 Greek 30 Drachma coins at melt, which at the time was less than $6 an ounce. The coins were all flawless, grading MS66 and above. I thought bidders on eBay were crazy to pay 3 and 4 times melt for these coins by the roll. Today, each one of those coins is worth $25 and the real winners were those who bought the rolls from me. Took a year or two, but I now wish I had held on to them.
