<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bmwcaligali, post: 57452, member: 3467&quot;]Hi Speedy, thank you for your response.&nbsp; I know I sound like a witch in my posting, and quite honestly I am never nasty like this, but this guy really pushed my buttons when he made that comment about my poor dead parents.&nbsp; He treated me as if I may be someone trying pass off bad coins on him, and the bottom line is this:&nbsp; I know that they aren&#039;t counterfeit.&nbsp; My parents had a friend who had numismatic experience look at the coins and he did tell them that some of them weren&#039;t worth saving and those coins were left out of my inheritance collection.&nbsp; I&#039;d have gone back to this guy that they knew, but sadly, he too is dead now.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I do agree that not all dealers are going to be like this guy, but I wasn&#039;t trying to dis on all dealers in my posting.&nbsp; That is why I specifically said their name.&nbsp; I apologise if any other dealers out there were offended by what I wrote.&nbsp; I don&#039;t believe dealers are bad.&nbsp; I believe this particular dealer was a crook.&nbsp; I do plan on going to someone more reputable however.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the Susan B Anthony Dollar Coin......it very well may be that it&#039;s not a mint error and that it was painted; however this particular coin was already placed in a plastic sleeve by my dad before I got it.&nbsp; Which tells me that their numismatic friend must&#039;ve selected that as one of the ones to take extra good care of (they have a total of 6 coins already encased in plastic as suggested they do by their friend).&nbsp; In any case, whatever its value, its one that my father valued....so it could never be spending change.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I appreciate your reply dear.&nbsp; I&#039;m sorry if I was too brask in my posting. I don&#039;t claim to know a lot about coins, but I can tell a lot about people and the man I spoke with today at his coin shop wasted my time and talked down to me like I was some drug addict, hard up for money, loser who probably stole my collection.&nbsp; And that was only after I was firm about not being there to sell them.&nbsp; He knew this when I spoke to him over the phone even.&nbsp; He just didn&#039;t think I would turn down his ridiculous offer of &quot;that large sum of cash&quot;.....it was very insulting and for a newbie talking to someone for the first time that is an alleged expert.....it makes me less inclined to do more with my coins besides mount them where they can be seen by everyone as my parents treasures.&nbsp; Their value does not outweigh their sentimentality. And I would feel that way even if I was destitute.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Take care hun.&nbsp; And again....I did not mean to offend anybody.&nbsp; My posting was merely to warn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
