<p>[QUOTE="MKent, post: 2458213, member: 33625"]If you live in my hometown you have to drive 40 miles to go to the nearest Gold Silver buyer and only one actual coin shop within 50, so a lot people here cash in their silver and old paper at the bank (tellers show me their hauls all the time). And yes they tell them it's worth more they just don't want to drive and waste time. About six months ago a guy (known by most as a crack head and thief came) into the store with an 1894 Morgan in an airtight that would've gone MS63 at least trying to sell it to the bank for $200. The teller had me paged up there to see if I wanted to buy it. I talked to the guy he told me he found cleaning a property and had taken it to three different silver buyers but they didn't have the money to buy it and he needed cash to pay his bills. I honestly don't know enough about Morgans to spend $200 with a crack head for a coin that may or may not have been stolen. I was more concerned it was a fake if the dealers didn't snatch it up. What would y'all have done asked for proof it was his, called the police to see if one had been reported stolen or what?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
