Message:: [QUOTE="KLJ, post: 159250, member: 1910"]Many have heard this story before, so if you have, just scroll on to the next thread. In June of 2000, when all the high school kids in Maryland (where I was living at the time) headed down to Ocean City for a week of fun.  Kid came in to the gas station where my wife worked for gas, soda, and cigarettes.  He tried to pay with his grandmother's graduation gift.  A 2000 1 oz platinum.  My wife tried to explain to him what he had, but his response was "If I don't spend it here, I'll spend it someplace else."  So she took it.  And bought it out of the register for face value.  Held on to it for a few days in case it had been "liberated" from somebody's collection.  Nobody showed, so it now sits in my collection.[/QUOTE]
