<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Virginian, post: 402779, member: 15201&quot;]I have read the posts where someone brings in old coins to a bank for a deposit and the teller sweeps them up for himself with out telling the depositor what they really have.&nbsp; Witholding information like that is akin to robbery or at the least ripping the person off.&nbsp; Many times people have asked me if they should just deposit their old coins?&nbsp; I emphatically tell them NO and that I would have the apraised.&nbsp; When evaluating a coin collection that a friend had inherited from his father I found 2 key dates, a 1916 quarter and a 1916-D Mercury Dime both in VG condition.&nbsp; Could I have cherry picked them and replaced them with different dates and not told my friend, sure, but that would that say about me as a person?&nbsp; I think it is very unethical to let people deposit valuable coins and not tell them about it, especially if you are a numismatist and no matter what your day job is!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
