<p>[QUOTE="princeofwaldo, post: 1670478, member: 24091"]If it were a person who had previously shown great knowledge of numismatics, who then was seen to be selling off his coins for nothing or giving them away, then mental problems would be obvious and even a child could make such a diagnosis. For someone with no known background in coins or metals, to get ripped-off is much less an indicator. As for the guy who sold the coins to her, can't really fault the guy for getting as much for the coins as possible. I was once able to acquire half a dozen rolls of 1963 Greek 30 Drachma coins at melt, which at the time was less than $6 an ounce. The coins were all flawless, grading MS66 and above. I thought bidders on eBay were crazy to pay 3 and 4 times melt for these coins by the roll. Today, each one of those coins is worth $25 and the real winners were those who bought the rolls from me. Took a year or two, but I now wish I had held on to them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
