<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 138921, member: 4552"]Oh how true this all is. With coin dealers and so called coin dealers it is just a guess as to what they know. I too constantly run into dealers that try to tell me all kind of stupid things about a coin they are trying to sell. I think that most of the dealers I've ever met are just a recent addition to the field based on they heard what a great buisness this is. One dealer has all his coins in boxes, no separations, just piled together. Has signs all xxx are $1 and he is always telling people they are worth 10 times taht because they are Silver. REAL SILVER that is. Then there are the true scam artist. I won't say the name but just saw on TV a interview with the owner of probably the biggest coin store in the Mid West. He was buying a collection from someone for $750 and I'll bet the seller got riped off right in front of the TV camera crew. Seller admitted he just inherited the collection. Ouch. I've been to that store and am amazed at how many coins have been cleaned and even state cleaned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
