[QUOTE="CoinOKC, post: 126910, member: 2146"]No, Roy, it hasn't. There are still plenty of people in this world who believe in doing the right thing. Cheating and lying is [U]NEVER[/U] the right thing! My solution to this would be for both individuals to visit a coin dealer, enter the shop together and ask the dealer what he would offer for the coins. The individual who owns the coins could politely decline the dealer's offer and both individuals could leave the store together. The other individual could offer to buy the coins at that time at the same price the dealer offered. That way, the individual who owns the coins knows he's not getting ripped off and the purchaser is buying them at a reasonable price. Every coin in my collection (everything I own, for that matter) has been purchased fair and square (other than the coins that were given to me). I can look at each and every one of them and know that I didn't lie or cheat to get them. That makes them precious to me.
