<p>[QUOTE="jatallman87, post: 1542254, member: 39039"]I like to go to pawn shops sometimes and look at the ridiculous prices that they put on some of their coins. There is a shop down the street from where I work and they have a 1987 silver eagle in there. The asking price is U.S. $80.00. I chuckled and said "That's insane!". The owner told me, "These prices are not silver prices. They are collector prices." To which I replied, "With all due respect sir, I am a collector and would never give eighty dollars for this coin. The most that any collector would pay for this particular coin is around fifty bucks unless silver prices were to significantly increase." He then told me that if I didn't like the price I didn't have to buy it. In a very sarcastic tone. With that I told him that I <b>was</b> interested in a Morgan dollar that he had for sale but his attitude had changed my mind. Thanks for your time, but I will take my business elsewhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't know why, but I just felt the need to share this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
