<p>[QUOTE="Owle, post: 1217894, member: 22004"]I would say the guy is "out of touch" with reality and I have seen this fairly often; this Captain Queag may go down with his ship. There are plenty of questionable ads in the coin publications for "choice UNC" gold coins, better dates etc., that would never grade in line with Coin World's guidelines. There are dealers with tired inventories of over-graded and over-priced "walking wounded" coins that would be high grade rarities if not for an accidental pin scratch or mishandling or harsh dipping. It's the land of make-believe for some and it's a lonely life for them. They would be having a lot more fun if they loosened up and had more customer friendly pricing and policies. </p><p><br /></p><p>People still go to those shops because they may have nothing better to do.
