Message:: [QUOTE="Lucky Cuss, post: 1690098, member: 44086"] This may be getting a bit off-topic, but contrast my initial experience yesterday with the later one at a self-described rare coin dealer. While I was there, a fellow was looking at a foreign silver coin, which he insisted upon his "expertise" was not authentic. It was tested in front of him and determined to be of the proper composition, and it turned out to be even a few tenths of a gram overweight. He continued to insist it wasn't a real piece, to which the counterman replied that then they really didn't want to sell it to him if he thought it was counterfeit. The owner came out and countermanded that, offering the coin to the guy at yesterday's melt, which I thought was far too generous given his attitude. You know what? The complaining "customer" walked anyway. In the meantime, a gal came in to actually sell some U.S. silver dollars, et cetera. She was offered what was the current melt. As all this was going on, I concluded my purchase of a couple of ASE's plus a Maple Leaf for the current ASW value + the typical premium. No fuss or bother whatsoever. But I was the only one there who bought anything at all. Certainly no crowd there waving money in the air for all the silver they could get.... Same thing at another area well established coin dealer. No one there, sales personnel calm and seemingly unfazed by the drop in gold and silver. I was told that they were selling their remaining 2013 ASE's for $29 as long as they lasted, no limit.[/QUOTE]
