<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 1415392, member: 4781&quot;]I see your point.&nbsp;&nbsp; However, I&#039;d like to point out that in the scenario you outlined, the inheriting party did not put any funds at risk - so they have no &quot;investment&quot; to lose.&nbsp;&nbsp; If some novice thinks their coin is worth a lot, and one dealer says otherwise, and if that novice then generalizes that numismatics is crooked, they are really jumping to an ill-conceived premature conclusion.&nbsp;&nbsp; A logical person would get a second opinion.&nbsp; &nbsp; Once they find that no dealer would pay much for the thing, then reality would eventually set in.&nbsp;&nbsp; Now if one dealer offered a paltry amount, and another offered a strong price, that should lead to the obvious conclusion - that some people are crooked, but not all of numismatics.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Nowdays, with the internet being so useful and so widely available, it would be easy to bring up past sales of a similar item and show the owners if they didn&#039;t believe you.&nbsp;&nbsp; The internet really has changed things, and with all the information available, it isn&#039;t difficult for any potential buyer to do a little research beforehand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
