[QUOTE="robec, post: 3381242, member: 19094"]How many times have we read about adults being taken advantage of by coin dealers? The message boards are full of them. With YNs it's not a question of "age discrimination" it's a thing called age of consent. I don't know what state you're in, but in California it is 18 years old. I'm sure many dealers are very cautious when buying from or selling to a 15 or 16 year old. Does he really want to put himself in the crosshairs if the coins were from an unknowing parent's collection? Or the possibility for being sued by the parents if the 15 year old was perceived as being taken advantage of by a low price? Just by you agreeing with your friend's comment of "age discrimination" shows you're not in the gray area you think you're in.[/QUOTE]
