So far you guys have been great and gave me some ideas about how to handle this. </p><p>First is if the receipt list the coins as Kennedy half dollars? or it may just state silver and have a price per ounce. This is going to be the key piece I need to see. </p><p>Second she did say that when asking me what I thought the coin was worth an told her between $8.00 to $12.00 dollars her response was that she paid $32.00 each for them.</p><p>Third she had ask her husband to invest in some silver and gold, he said he did not want to. So she did this without his knowledge and now I have to do this without him finding out.</p><p>This is very tough.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as her mental and education. She is a very sharp minded person. She made a dumb mistake and that is it. At the time of my starting this thread I may have been a little upset when asking for advice from this group. But I do not think being stupid in one moment justifies a whole character of a person. She went in to this coin shop and everyone was very nice. She said she wanted to buy some silver, and explained her fears and not having faith in the US dollar. The Dealer</p><p>told her these Kennedy halves would be a good investment and she was getting a deal. This is where he said they would be $32.00 each. She said that she wanted to purchase $8000.00 worth. This is where I am at as of now. </p><p>Sorry that I want be able to do anything else till Friday night. As I stated earlier in the post she lives over a 100 miles from me. The only reason I will see her Friday I am going Bass fishing and where I am going will take me by her house and this is why I will be there Friday night.</p><p>As far as this coin shop.
