<p>[QUOTE="dixieaf27, post: 569649, member: 18271"]Alright time for an update. I will try to keep this as short as I can, but get all the info that I know on it. My dad had some success in getting my money back. It was two guys in the shop when he went in and told them I wanted my money back and the ask the question why. He told them we felt really strongly that it was counterfeit and wanted to know where it came from. The first guy said they got it at the bank. Now we all know they quit making them in 1934 and the govt had the banks to start sending them in to be destroy in late 1966 so no bank is going to have one unless it's the owner and you want get it from him (more than likely). The second guy says no we got it from a dealer in Illinois (highly unlikely a currency dealer is going to pass it right). So they proceed to tell him they will give him the money back but they don't have enough cash in the store, so Dad said give me what you have and we will see what else you have to buy. Now at this point he is just trying to get my money's worth. They came up a few hunderd short and told him they had a 1878 7 tail feathers reverse 1878 graded by NAC MS66 they would give him if we would except it and their apologies. To make it short he took the coin, but I don't know much about NAC grading so I hope this grade holds up. If I can get pics I will. After he called with the news I called Secret Service out of Jackson, MS and turned the store and note in. They took the info about the other that sold for $37,500 and the one they had, series, serial number and so forth and said they would investigate it. So I did get my money back and turned it in too. Dad felt they were a little iffy about the bill and I think they knew something about it. I did my duty in turning them in, its up to SS to do the rest. I wish it were some way to follow up on the bill. I might give them a call back sometime to see if they will tell me anything about it. The number is 601-965-4436 for secret service and the store is City Pawn (found that out too) in Tupelo Ms phone 662-844-0003. If anyone else would like give them more reasons to investigate, but they said they would. </p><p> </p><p>Thanks for everyone's info and help with this one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
