<p>[QUOTE="chip, post: 2032903, member: 19122"]I had a dealer with a lot of well worn Indian head cents selling them for 50 cents each, well I bought a bunch, and then decided I Liked the series enough to collect them in xf, so I had upgraded 4 at the time, and went to a local flea market where there was a coin dealer I had never done business with. I asked him what he would purchase them for, just as a way of getting to know a new dealer, he proceeded to tell me that IHCs were a stagnant series and he had tons of them sitting and gathering dust so he could only offer me a quarter each, well I was losing a buck, but that is not something I will cry about so I sell them for a buck. Then I say I am interested in Indian head cents, those were some of my doubles and did he have any for sale, I tell him I am looking for xf examples, he proceeds to tell me that IHC are a hot coin, but he has some for sale, and when I give him my list of what I was looking for he proceeds to pull out the same sort of damaged culls I just sold him, I tell him I am looking for xf examples not ag to vg ones, he then starts to tell me how he has been collecting coins forever and I say alright, but I suggest to him that he reread the ana grading guide, He then tells me how he got started in the business by having an industrial accident that his sharp lawyer turned into the golden ticket, forget the company was put out of business, and his fellow workers were out of work, so anyway I looked through some of his junque, and have never been back there again, though I have seen him at another shop, he showed no sign of recognizing me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would categorize the guy as being one of the many adult children out there, and probably did not realize that for a dollar I found out he could not be trusted like an adult.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
