<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 653050, member: 15199&quot;]I agree, but so often when a newbie shows a beatup, cleaned, or scratched coin, I often hear &quot;melt&quot; as the price it is worth. I think there are better words to use, especially as they might not have the &#039;gems&quot; we all do. It may be their first or only coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>On the issue, we will often be told things about our coins we feel are not right, but if we ask for opinions or offers, we must be willing to endure even comments from the less informed. In gems it is even worse, as neophytes know even less about gemstones than they do about coins. I have quit giving an offer, when asked, as 99% of gemstones sold today are worth less than 20% of the purchased price, even if they are real, but tell that to a divorcee who wants to sell her $5000 diamond.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
