[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 8350270, member: 19250"]You know you alway hear about stories like this....and wonder how true they are....and not doupting the op at all....as I ran across a lady who's dad had passed . He was in the military and she had no idea that her dad was pretty well off... However what happen ..her dad passed.... and was living up in the Pacific northwest. She sent her husband up to take care of the estate... Well long story short...he calls her...tells her he cannot bring it all back on a plane. That he thinks it be better if he came home....and the 2 of them rent a truck to bring his coin collection back to Kansas! Her dad had a box truck load of coins! They flew up and drove the truck back home. I was a dealer on ebay at the time looking for a deal....I found one. As this is how I met this lady. She began to list on ebay the coins...not knowing anything....sell gold ,key.semi keys...not priced correctly, as well offering shiping for $2 on $5 gold, and key coins. To be honest...I could made out like a bandit...as she was ripe for picking! I messaged her...and introduced myself...and began to explain to her....that she was setting herself up for failure. Mailing a coin with no tracking or insurance. ....Im like your going to be picked clean ..as #1 your prices arent in line with what your selling...and your going to mail a very expensive coin with out tracking and signed for....? I convinced her to buy a red book, I also gave her Fred Wienburg name and number. So yeah things like this happens quite offten, and from our prospective find it hard to believe that others don't have the knowledge to truly understand exactly what they have. I feel good about doing what I did...reaching out to her and advise her to the best of my abilities so she wouldn't be ripped off. She did thank me...and sent me about 6 common Jefferson nickels....as a Thank You.;) But can you imagine a box truck full of coins? She did share that her fathers commanding Officer sent her father home off base one day with MP's as guards...as he had taken a larger amount of coins on base to show and tell his friends.. When her dads head officer saw what he had brought to work....money wise he sent him home with guards so he wouldn't be robbed. So yeah....stories like this does and do happen. When a large collection isn't liquidated pryor to the collectors death,or records kept explaining exactly what ,and value it represents.[/QUOTE]
