[QUOTE="ldhair, post: 940685, member: 11540"]Had a local dealer offer me an 1877 IHC in VF for about $100. It's been a few years but the deal was just too good and I turned it down. Just had this feeling that something was wrong. A few weeks later the dealer makes the local news. Him and his wife went to jail. It seems his better customers were getting late night visits from guys with guns and bats. Several people were hurt really bad. The dealers shop was filled with stolen coins. I have always thought if I had said yes to this deal I would have been killed or killed one of them. That's about the time I started using a SDB for anything of value. At the end, there was a large auction. The shop and the property were sold so he could pay his lawyers. The auction was really cool. Folks were hardly bidding and most coins went for almost nothing near the real value. Most everyone there knew how bad this guy was. Maybe some justice was server in the end. It was a great lesson for me.[/QUOTE]
