good looking out numismatist 47.Would hate to be there and see someone about to be responsible for 1600.00 due to them still learning about coins and scams

OMG! Normally when I hear that they say the lost it.

Although this one time we had a guy buy 3 slabbed bu 1943 Lincoln Cents. The picture was online it even said they were steel pennies. We sent them to him. He sent them back because they were not copper.

Ok now that was funny!

 

Hmm I can't edit my post? So sorry for double posting but had to share this cause I thought it was funny.

So a customer emailed me the other day and said our shop has ridiculous prices and that we were 250% mark up from retail. (No that's not the funny part) He gave me a link to what he feels current retail prices for US coins should be. Here is a link to the site.

First off the site has a disclaimer. It's in German but they basically say they are not liable for the information they posted. (Yay I thought that was funny.)

Here is one example of what I found funny. We all know that the 1909 S VDB is a key. So here is a break down. (Grey sheet = dealer price and Red book = suggested retail)

Grey sheet price for 1909 S VDB in Good (G04): $650.00
Red Book 2010 1909 S VDB in Good (G04): $750.00
Sampler.com's 1909 S VDB in Very Fine (VF20): $500

To bad they are not a dealer. I'd buy them all day at that price.)
