[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1640551, member: 15929"]That was probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard a dealer say! They must think we are freaking idiots! What she told you amounted to, we sell all the toned coins to dick at great toning because nobody else will buy them. ??? Yet.............there you stood................waiting to buy. I would have said something along the lines of what I just typed, made a note of the shops name and then approached them at the next coin show. Then I would have looked to see if they had any toners and asked what ole dick was gonna pay for that one?? I've had coin dealers tell me some fairly stupid stuff but that one takes the cake! Just last week I was in a shop looking at some copper nickel clad Kennedy's when I came across one that had been gold plated. I said, "Look, this one;s been plated" Some fella came out of the back room and said "No, it's been dipped." I should have given him his STUPID SIGN but I couldn't see arguing with an idiot. It just makes me look stupid.[/QUOTE]
