<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1709828, member: 17919&quot;]I&#039;ve got to say, this has been one of the most entertaining threads I&#039;ve ever read on Coin Talk. What a cast of characters! First there&#039;s a guy who&#039;s not a dealer but who nevertheless manages to get his hands on valuable US coins and sells them just for their (supposed) metal value, even though there&#039;s a dealer who could probably give him significantly more for them. Either that person is buying his coins from people who are even less knowledgeable than he is (to put it charitably), or he is selling fakes that the dealer wouldn&#039;t buy, or he doesn&#039;t want to bring attention to himself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then we have the jewelers who obviously don&#039;t know anything about coins, polishing up a Trade Dollar to make it all nice and shiny again. &quot;There! She&#039;s good as new!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Then we have the dealer who supposedly worked for PCGS but is &quot;80% certain&quot; that a highly questionable Trade Dollar that isn&#039;t even standard weight, is real. I guess we know now why he doesn&#039;t work for PCGS anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>And then there are the guys in the gold and silver shop who plunk down $65 for a trade dollar of dubious integrity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Man, o man. I need to know where this town is so I&#039;ll know never to buy coins from there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
