<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Doug21, post: 1248270, member: 5650&quot;]A dealer should be able to tell if the 09 SVDB is genuine. A legit dealer has to offer a fair price for this to a novice or he is unethical. It&#039;s like those gold buyers that pay 10% of melt value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if the same dealer went to Tag sale on a sunday at somebody&#039;s home, then he could pay $20 if that was the asking price, but not at his store.</p><p><br /></p><p>How would said dealer like it if a TV station sent in a reporter with a known genuine 09-svdb and reported what was offered by various dealers in that city ?</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember my local dealer had some original BU rolls of some better date washington quarters back in the 70&#039;s. He had bought them as junk silver, somebody came in and sold junk silver. I think silver was about 3X face then and these coins were perhaps $5 apiece. He had tubed them and sold you the next coin out of the tube for $5 or whatever.</p><p><br /></p><p>He had no qualms about admitting he paid melt, justified it by saying ....these things help pay the rent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin dealers have a license to steal if a bit dishonest to a few sellers they will never see again. You can also be a fence of sorts, pay less for silver when the seller clearly looks like a gangbanger&nbsp; sort with stolen stuff....can you identify stolen circulated silver Roosy dimes, I can&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>These guys melted junk gold into bars before having them refined, anything maybe hot was no longer hot once melted and cooled.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ethics aren&#039;t for everyone, I reckon !</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I don&#039;t suggest a dealer has to look thru your junk silver for you trying to find a 16-D dime and paying a fair price for it, that&#039;s up to you. But a single coin like the SVDB is different.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
