[QUOTE="rhoggman, post: 404032, member: 13987"]All I have to say to all those out there crying shame, shame, shame is that you should not be receiving any more "good deals". Every time you run across something that represents an excellent value you should proclaim to the seller what an excellent value you are about to get by saying something like, "these prices are unheard of, and can't be obtained anywhere else that I know of." I argued extensively on this thread only to prove that one individual was changing his standards on the fly, and then in the end reciprocated and argued my points. I don't see how any coin dealer or any coin collector trying to make a buck could possibly do it by paying market prices. It would be virtually impossible. What would I have said to he old Lady at the Bank? I probably would have told her about the silver, but to assume she didn't already know is no different than assuming she is poor and stupid. I'm sure there is a line you should morally draw, but that line is your own. Also if you don't know what you are doing, and if you don't arm yourself with knowledge, you cannot expect every Tom, Dick, and Harry out there to fill in the gap for your ignorance. Somebody is going to get a "deal" from you, and they don't have to be dishonest in order to do so. You, in your ignorance, will give it away.[/QUOTE]
