<p>[QUOTE=&quot;claycad, post: 1152944, member: 17987&quot;]See, I wish that would happen to me just for the story. The coins that are most interesting to me are the ones that have a nice story to how I got or found them. I would have felt bad ripping the guy off, so I would have given him a fair price too.</p><p><br /></p><p>It amazes me though that this guy didn&#039;t even think that the coin might be worth more then face value though. I know people who think that a Sacajawea circulated dollar is worth more then a dollar simply because you rarely see them being circulated. The same thing applies to $2 bills. One time I actually had a roommate that owed me $3 for something and he gave me a circulated 1999 Susan B Anthony dollar exclaiming that it was probably worth atleast $3 maybe more. Not knowing that I collected coins I explained to him that perceived rarity doesn&#039;t really mean it is a rare coin and that a 1999 SBA dollar was only worth a dollar. I still took it but made him pay the other $2 he owed me.</p><p><br /></p><p>This guy is the opposite of most people. Most people assume coins that are rarely circulated are worth more then there face value even when they aren&#039;t. This guy thinks if it says one dollar on it then it must only be worth one dollar now matter how old it is. Poor fool. At least you are willing to help him learn how much some of his coins are really worth, glad there are still honest people left in the world.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
