He was trying to steal from you, period.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve pointed out on other threads - with 19th C. primary source material - that <b>many &quot;fake&quot; US trade dollars were silver, <i>coined for want of specie </i>and not to defraud &quot;collectors&quot;</b> (tax- or coin-) as you might imagine. </p><p><br /></p><p>In this case, your coin was WANTED by a coin dealer. Why? Is there a good ($$) market for period counterfeit Silver TDs? I don&#039;t know. But I find his behavior suspicious (even IF he was having a bad day) and utterly reprehensible for whatever the coin is actually worth. But I am not surprised by this either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is one post I mentioned <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t218695-2/#post1591336" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t218695-2/#post1591336">http://www.cointalk.com/t218695-2/#post1591336</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
