[QUOTE="CoinGal07, post: 670829, member: 8843"]Posting for your feedback and opinion. Background: I was at my regular coin shop today and the owner mentioned she was struggling with a decision on how to act. Seems she'd received a call twice now from a young person asking selling a gold coin. The first time the owner asked the caller their age; answer: 13. She informed the caller she would need to bring one of her parents or a legal guardian if she intended to sell the coin. The caller never showed. Today the caller phoned again about selling the same coin but still no show to the shop. Now for the question: the owner was considering trying to use the caller ID to phone later in the evening to hopefully speak to the parent or legal guardian. Her thinking is she wants to prevent a problem. Whether or not the coin belongs to the young girl, at least someone should know she's planning to sell it. All of the other risk (inviting nonrelated adult into the house when the parents aren't around to show them the coin collection) is concerning too. So now - your answer or opinion. Should the Coin Shop Dealer butt in or butt out?[/QUOTE]
