<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 176592, member: 1242&quot;]mcgrover,</p><p><br /></p><p>Great Point! And the answer to the question is, no. At least, none of the Coin dealers that I know would do so! Just to let you know how some Coin Dealers can be, I offer the following which was my test of a certain Coin Dealer&#039;s honesty. I have an 1880-O Morgan Silver Dollar in MS-61 which is a VAM 43 (Double Ear with a Micro &quot;O&quot; Mintmark) Top 100 Variety which I took to a Coin Dealer that I have done a lot of business with in the past. I did not mention that it was a VAM 43 since I already knew that he collects as well as sells VAMs,&nbsp; told him that I needed the money and asked what he would give me for the coin. Well, he made no mention that the coin was a VAM 43 (even though I know that he picked up on the VAM as he exmained the coin for quite a long time with several loupes and his Coin Microscope) and he even had the gall to offer $30 for the coin which is way, way under the Grey Sheet Bid Price for the coin, even in MS-60. Since there are quite a few VAM collectors on this site, they know what the coin is worth and that is $200 in AU-58, $400 in MS-60 and $600 in MS-62. I was pretty miffed at his offer for the coin, even though it was only a test and told him that it would be a cold day in he** before I would sell it to him for that price as it was a VAM 43. I placed the coin back in my briefcase, walked out the door of his&#039; shop and have never gone back or done business with him again.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The Other, Other Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
