<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2876849, member: 15199&quot;]Living near the southern border, I see many of these at swap meets or yard sales, and for the most part they do not know the coin&#039;s characteristics ( even if its their native country )Some are scammers and know very well, others are trying to sell a family &#039;thing&#039; for a little money. This week a friend asked me to look at an old US coin, a 1840 they said, dollar. Of course I realize how improbable that would be, but I got a few &#039;tools&#039; and went to check. The minute they pulled it from its hiding place, I recognized a US &#039;gold dollar&#039; .&nbsp; The tough part was that they were so hopeful. The large number of coins in this sale indicates full knowledge of their real value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
