The coin dealer here, and anyone that can defend his actions, (like the individuals within the comments section of the attached link) is an underhanded piece of crap. Plain and simple. I don't care if he did this to an 80 year old senior citizen or a 30 year old obnoxious customer, same labelling applies The old lady should have picked up her pieces and walked away after the dealer refused to provide her any appraisal amount. Her intent was to get an appraisal, and (hopefully) take it to another dealer for another appraisal as a saftey check. I've got my fingers crossed that the old lady saw the light and walked away.

Its episodes like that is why I am always sceptical about dealers I do not know. Its a shame, because its an area that could use a whole new publicity makeover.
