<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1666743, member: 5233&quot;]Back to the original topic...if I were in the OPs shoes, this is what I would do.</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; First I would return to the coin dealer with the woman, the coins, and the receipt.&nbsp; I would also go with the the silver spot value for the purchase date and thus the total value of the coins at the time of purchase.&nbsp; For arguments sake, lets use today&#039;s figures off coinflation.&nbsp; Right now silver is $28.85 per ounce, so each 1964 Kennedy is worth $10.43.&nbsp; Since she purchased 180 coins, the spot value is $5193.&nbsp; I would kindly explain to the dealer that selling this for $8000 is highly unacceptable and you expect him to make it right.&nbsp; Understand that a premium is to be expected, but not like this.&nbsp; See what happens.&nbsp; If the dealer is willing to work with you...problem solved, if not leave the store without incident and proceed to the next step.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; Speak with a lawyer.&nbsp; I know we have been discussing the legalities of this situation and I have stated that I believe it to be legal...but as it has been pointed out, I am not an expert in law.&nbsp; I would speak with someone who is.&nbsp; See if once the lawyer gets involved (and if the lawyer suggests so the police), if the situation is resolved.&nbsp; If not, I would go one step further.</p><p><br /></p><p>3.&nbsp; At this point, speaking with the dealer and working it out and speaking with a lawyer have done nothing.&nbsp; IMHO, there is nothing further you can do in an attempt to recover the money.&nbsp; But, what you can do is save others.&nbsp; I would go to the newspaper, local news, hand out fliers in his parking lot, at the mall, everywhere you can think of telling your story.&nbsp; Make sure that the whole town learns of what happened.&nbsp; Be 100% truthful.&nbsp; Say that she went to purchase $8000 worth of silver and the dealer sold her $5193 worth claiming it was worth $8000.&nbsp; The $2800 he made off of her in such a fashion might be the last dollar he ever makes.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But, that&#039;s just me.&nbsp; That&#039;s what I would do.&nbsp; Again, I don&#039;t know if telling your story would constitute slander or anything...but I would imagine if you are 100% truthful that nothing bad could happen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
