[QUOTE="Islander80-83, post: 4046361, member: 104278"]Very interesting!! You mention kid and shop. Sorry to get off topic here for a second but I gotta tell you guys this story. My wife and I were in Vegas several years ago. We were walking around, off the main strip, at a strip mall, window shopping at all the junk. She went into one of the shops to look around. I notice a coin shop a few doors down. I told her I was going to the coin shop and I'll meet up with her later. The owner (I think it was the owner) greeted me. I was always in the market for a St Gaudens Double Eagle. The most beautiful coin IMO. I still don't have one. I just wanted to see one up close. The guy brought out three and put them on the counter. We were talking about them. Just then, he got a phone call and had to leave. He asked a kid (a coworker, I say kid; he was probably in his 30's) to help me. The owner left. This kid came over to help me. He asked; [B]how much I wanted for them??[/B] I looked at him, I looked around (there was no one there) and yes, it crossed my mind for a split second. Do I say; no thank you and take the coins or take the money?? I paused for more then several seconds! I looked at this kid over the top of my grasses and said; [B]these coins aren't mine, they're yours![/B] He almost past out!! He knew I just saved him several thousand dollars!! :greedy::greedy: And that's the way it was traveling west!! :hilarious:[/QUOTE]
