<p>[QUOTE=&quot;justndav76, post: 706384, member: 17428&quot;]It was a good decision and I was thankful I was there.&nbsp; The only thing I really bought back then were proof/mint sets so I didnt have a real good knowledge of older coins.&nbsp; I just knew enough that they were worth more than face value.&nbsp; The guy I bought my mint/proof sets from was a real reputable guy and he gave her a very fair deal.&nbsp; She wasnt planning on getting more than the $600 face so she was grateful for my advice.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Later she found a roll of dimes dated 1920&#039;s and thirties and an 1894 Morgan which she gave me as a thank you.&nbsp; I cherish those coins to this day and would never in a million years sell them. She passed a couple years ago, sorta miss her- we stayed in touch all the time.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Its really up to all of us to watch out for the older folks, especially in situations like this- we may be coin collectors but we are also human beings and must show a sense of morality.&nbsp; My best friends mom sold a bunch of silver coins to these scammers that travel around and pay people for their old coins, I told her how badly they ripped her off and that if she wanted to sell her old silver coins she should have called me- she didnt know I collected coins.&nbsp; So now anytime she comes across wheats or old silver coinage she saves it for me and I pay her a fair price for her work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
