[QUOTE="clembo, post: 307283, member: 8033"]Pocket Change, A scam is a scam big or small. Here's how I read the auction. "Although I am a coin dealer I don't know anything about coins as that would take effort. It's easier to plant an idea in the buyer's head and rip said buyer off." As one who is fond of odd denomination coins I will start using this angle to the extreme. Example: I know this coin is dated 1865 but I'm not sure if it's a Two Cent Piece that retails at $15 in G4 or an 1865 Three Cent Silver that retails at $400 in G4. I don't check these coins. I have a bin of 1865 coins in 2x2s and I close my eyes and grab one for shipping. P.S. I have never owned an 1865 Three Cent Silver so your chances are pretty slim BUT the coin fairy could change it during shipping. Yeah, I'm going with that.[/QUOTE]
