<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 1300313, member: 29643&quot;]So, this guy posted on CL that he was selling a pair of 2000 silver proof sets. After thinking about it for a bit, I offered $90 (given that they&#039;re listed for $47 on Southern&#039;s website). The guy countered at $100, and I declined. That was yesterday.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, so he accepts my $90 offer today, and I agree to meet him at his work-site. Upon reviewing his post, I notice that the picture he used was a 2001 set (New York quarter). I call to ask him about this, and he states that he just used a picture that he found which looked like his set. After driving in traffic for about 40 minutes, I get to his site and tell him that I&#039;d like to see the coins in his office.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, he pulls out the coins...</p><p><br /></p><p>And I set up my verification station (Kleenex brand two-ply tissue paper)...</p><p><br /></p><p>And he hands me a...</p><p><br /></p><p>2000 clad mint set.</p><p><br /></p><p>At first I was irritated that I wasted a net 1 hr 15 min of my life, plus unnecessary damage to the environment, but then I realized he probably didn&#039;t know any better, so I showed him the side of the coins and pointed out that silver isn&#039;t brown/red.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
