<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 113617, member: 4350&quot;]The problem comes when the uninformed collector buys a coin or a set of coins and then somewhere in the future comes upon a tough time.&nbsp; They then go to a local dealer that offers them a legitimate price that could be as little as 25% of what they originally bought the coin for.&nbsp; The person feels ripped off (rightly so) and he suddenly despises coins, dealers, other collectors etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>They believe the PT Barnum spiel.&nbsp; &quot; OOOHHH !! A 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar,&nbsp; It was the first year of issue,&nbsp; It&#039;s 90% silver!! It&#039;s the last circulating 90% silver coin, BLAH, BLAH BLAH...!!&nbsp; $19.95 Please!!&quot;&nbsp; Oh yeah, It comes with a certificate of auithenticity.... WOW!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>I may sound sarcastic but there is nothing good to say when that collector is offered $2.50 cents for it, perfectly acceptable offer and is told. &quot;We don&#039;t need a COA, the coin is only a common date Kennedy&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>So many people are hyped into believing they have something valuable.&nbsp; Take all that Gold plated States Quarter junk.&nbsp; It&#039;s all damaged US coinage and is worthless as numismatic collectibles. </p><p><br /></p><p>Enough soapbox...They prey upon the uneducated and that borders upon criminal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have Fun,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
