<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1212108, member: 21705&quot;]Pawn shop owners have been taken for a long time. Even the shrewd ones. </p><p><br /></p><p>My uncle owned a pawn shop for many years and the family was in awe of his ability to profit from every transaction. He was rumored to have valuable gold coins in his safety deposit box. After he and his wife died in the early 90s, we checked the box and found his coins. I was given the privileged of going through the collection for the purposes of dividing it among the cousins (they had no children). </p><p><br /></p><p>There I found the gold coins. all of it (about 50 pieces) was fractional gold!!!! They were all marked for sale at the prices indicated in the Red Book at about 1990 prices. Upon close examination, I determined that they were the tokens produced in large quantities as souvenirs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have wondered since then whether he knew they were souvenir coins or if he was taken and simply didn&#039;t want&nbsp; anyone to know it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
