<p>[QUOTE="jhinton, post: 967918, member: 24410"]<font face="Calibri"><font size="3">I consider myself a pretty honest person, and I try to do the right thing when it comes to buying and selling coins. Yesterday I had 2 purchases that kind of tested the waters a little bit. The first one, I had an older gentleman come into the store with two rolls of common circulated peace dollars. I looked through them real quick; they all looked like 22s and 23s. I gave him $15.00 a piece. He walked next door to a western store while I was double checking the coins and throwing them into the “silver dollar bucket”. Low and behold I found a 1921 Peace in XF condition! I walked next door, told the man that I found a better coin in the tube and paid him extra for the coin. He was very pleased and I was glad I did the right thing. About 2 hours later a man came in, he was real arrogant and rude. He laid 4 rolls of Indian head cents on the counter and said “I want $ 50.00 a roll and there are no good dates I already checked” I told him I was not interested. He then changed his tone a little and asked what I would pay for them. I pointed to my “Indian head bucket” and said I have plenty I will pay $25.00 a roll. He said ok took the money and walked out. The last roll I opened was a true find. All the cents were fine or better and I found a fine 1908-s! Now I got to tell ya, if that man was still in the store, I would have told him and paid him more for that roll/1908-s but if he walks in the store Monday morning I wouldn’t say a word. I would like to hear some opinions on this as to what you think of this situation. </font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
