<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GerardV, post: 2908528, member: 76329&quot;]Far too often, being blunt is the right thing. A friend just brought me a bin of coins her sister collected over the years to see what it might be worth. The bad news is there are a ton of collector trap items from Littleton, true collector coins shipped and stored in cellophane packaging that will ruin their grade by leaving hairline scratches and others that worn past the point of collector&nbsp; value. Some of the coins are silver or gold and worth melt value but that is it.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the past, I found if I wasn&#039;t blunt in cases like this, people didn&#039;t really hear that the coins are worth less than the purchase cost. So, I&#039;m painfully blunt and, in my opinion, that is better than giving them hope. </p><p><br /></p><p>Tough love is love, and far too often, a failure to tell the truth causes more pain than simply telling it like it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
