<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silverhouse, post: 1433965, member: 29452&quot;]Back in 2010, I was at a friends house in Michigan.&nbsp; He had all those coin magazines.&nbsp; I&#039;ll be honest, it got me actively collecting again, but I knew enough not to purchase from any magazine without doing my research first.&nbsp; One evening while browsing online while visiting my friend a coin dealer telemarketer called my buddy&#039;s house.&nbsp; He wanted to sell my friend those 2 1/2 dollar gold indian coins.&nbsp; Now at the time I knew nothing about those types of coins, but decided to check out ebay.&nbsp; The coin dealer on the phone wanted $2700 dollars for 3 gold indian heads.&nbsp; If memory serves they were a 1911, 1913, and a 1926.&nbsp; All Philly mint.&nbsp; I showed my buddy that ebay was offering the same coins for much less and I advised against the purchase.&nbsp; He wouldn&#039;t hear of it.&nbsp; My buddy ended up sending the guy $2700 for those three coins.&nbsp; I repeatedly told him he was making a mistake and offered to take him to the local coin shop if he really wanted those coins.&nbsp; He wouldn&#039;t do it.&nbsp; For whatever reason he really trusted this guy on the phone.&nbsp; Since then I&#039;ve lost touch with my friend.&nbsp; But I&#039;ll never forget that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
