[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 49847, member: 112"]Howdy Phil - Welcome to the Forum !! You are right to be concerned about your grandmother's purchases. There are literally hundreds of boiler room phone sales operations where they charge unkowing people way too much for these coins. The coins are genuine, that's not the problem. The problem is how much they charge for them. So first of all try to get your grandmother to stop buying them for right now. Then try to put together a list of what she has bought and how much she paid for each. If I understand correctly she is paying in Canadian dollars, so that will help somewhat due to the exchange rate. Once you can get a list - I'll be happy to provide you with what the fair retail price of these coins should be. Then you can show her. If she wishes to continue to buy them - fine. I'll also be happy to recommend someone who will charge fair prices. But I fear she has been taken advantage of and likely will have no further interest in it.[/QUOTE]
