I see a western style belt buckle in the display with an average looking 1922 Peace Dollar &amp; the item had a price tag of $80.00. I ask the sales person if I could examine it to see why it costs so much &amp; proceed to pull my trusty RedBook or Greysheet out of my bag. The sales person instantly says I can have it for $15.00.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
