<p>[QUOTE="bigjpst, post: 998286, member: 21015"]your point is taken, and I was probably a bit harsh with my response, I have stopped trading with one coin store in my area for similar reasons. But if the shoe is on the other foot, If I walked into a coinshop and cherrypicked a 37 no leg buffalo out of a junk bin because the dealer thought it was altered am I being dishonest or a 16d dime out of his junk silver. A member of this forum about a year ago found a 1955 dd lincoln cent in a "unsearched bag" of wheats on e-bay <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t81102/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t81102/">http://www.cointalk.com/t81102/</a> Is he now responsible for contacting the seller and paying him the difference. </p><p>You are right, in a perfect world the market should dictate what acceptable sales practices are and probably alot of dealers are getting over on people, but we as collectors and buyers are responsible for ourselves.
