<p>[QUOTE="Cazkaboom, post: 1487546, member: 33215"]So I went to my local coin shop to sell my 1915 Barber half PCGS VG-8, and found a dealer who gave me a good offer, so I took it, then proceeded to browse coins. Somebody came into the shop for a quick buck selling a silver half and Morgan Dollar. Well I noticed the half was a seated half, and the people only wanted $30 for the both. So the dealer took the offer. They took the money and scurried off. The dealer whom I talk to much and am on a pretty good basis with, shows the half to me and I comment that I like its original patina.</p><p><br /></p><p>He says "Do you want it?"
