<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RedTiger, post: 647181, member: 19098&quot;]I wasn&#039;t there, neither were you. Of course you believe your friend&#039;s account. However, if he/she doesn&#039;t know anything about coins, there is a chance that he/she misheard what the offer was. For example, the offer might have been: face value for all the common wheaties, 2x face for the old nickels, 4x face for the silver, 5x face for the Morgans, but because the person is so irate after hearing the first sentence, all they remember hearing is &quot;face value&quot; and that is the story they retell to their friends. I have heard a few stories about offering face value for Morgan dollars, and would say it is more likely for a pawn shop. For a coin dealer, offering face value for collectible Morgans would be an exceptional case, like in the lowest 1% of dealers. If the coins were authentic, certainly that dealer would not be considered as &quot;honest,&quot; and would be a dealer to avoid entirely.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me add that everyone on Internet forums tells me their stories are 100% true, especially their dealer bashing, or collector bashing stories. In a few cases the other party to the story is also a member of that particular forum. When there is some kind of dispute, and both sides of the story are told, I&#039;d say about 80% of the time, the first story posted isn&#039;t close to the truth at all. So it would be interesting to hear the dealer&#039;s side of that particular incident. Though if the story is true, the dealer is likely hiding under a rock like the snake that he/she is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
