Message:: [QUOTE="JJK78, post: 813608, member: 19207"]IMHO.  You like most folks I have run into on here seem to be good people.  I think letting "what happens happen" is not in anyones best interest but the guy who runs the coin shop.  I'll tell you what I did in a similar situation... I ran across a lady who had advertised a few key date Morgan dollars at a real good price.  Once I spoke with her it turned out she had a LOT of Morgan dollars and other old coins which had been left in an inheritance.  I ended up meeting her at a bank and essentially offered to appraise the collection for her free of charge if she let me have first choice - Although I did let her hold the title to my car as good faith that I wouldn't run off with the coins.In the end I didn't end up with any of her Morgans but got some nice large cents and a few other goodies from her.  But it also helped her in getting a better deal with the inheritance as I appraised the collection at about 25% of what she was told the value was (many kids so things had to be split up). Anyway my point is I think you should definitely go back to her and at least make sure she dosen't go selling the whole collection off for a fraction of its value like a few hundred bucks because it "used to be a lot of money to her".  Maybe you can find somthing cool for your collection too - then everyone wins! Good luckJ[/QUOTE]
