<p>[QUOTE=&quot;biged239, post: 1336982, member: 29948&quot;]I had this happen to me. I should know better. I was at a flea market and at this one space the guy had tons of everything. Cloths, toys, junk, and lots more. In a small case over on the side he had old jewelry, knives, buttons, and a few coins. One coin was a 1883 S Morgan Dollar. This coin looks and feels real. I had a magnifier with me I did not spot any problem. I ask what the price was and he said $40.00, At the time silver was $45.00 melt. I said I would give him $30.00 he acted like I was ripping him off, but he sold it to me for $30.00. This flea market was 100 miles from where I live. When I got home and took a picture and enlarged it, is when the marks and detail showed it was counterfeit. The weight was off but not enough to tell with just holding it.</p><p>So even us seasoned guys get tricked too. The guy that had that booth is set up there for a long time and everything looked like just house hold junk. He probably had no Idea or maybe he did, I don,t know. Be careful at all places where coins are sold, you just don,t know anymore.</p><p>Big ED[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
