Had a lady on Facebook offer me a 1921 Morgan a 1923 peace dollar and a 1917&1941 walking liberty all for $20 I'm suppose to go pick it up at 3 can't wait
If they are authentic, I'd probably throw in a little more cash. $20 for these coins is less than 50% of melt. But I'd also approach this situation with caution, because deals that seem too good to be true usually are...
If you meet her in the middle at $30, you're still getting a good deal and you get some good karma out of it. Plus, I just love reverse negotiating with people. They offer something to me for $20, and I shake my head and counter with $30. It really messes with their mind.
I'd take my Russian speaking bodyguards with me if I was going to do that deal. Yes, I really do have Russian speaking bodyguards that come to coin shows with me.

Except your wife and that $20 in your pocket. It's better to be safe than sorry. Drop your wife off with a sniper rifle 200 yards from where you're meeting this woman.
Even if you get those items from her, be cautious if she has other items for sale, coin related or not. A lot of hot merchandise is fenced that way without having to advertise it.
