<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jason Hoffpauir, post: 2540697, member: 67527&quot;]So any ways...this past weekend I went to my LCS Dealer and an older gentleman came in (he wife was waiting in the car) to show the owner some coins he had collected over the years and part of the collection from his mother who had passed. The gentleman needed to know how much could he get for the coins. Now I figure this man was about 60-70 years of age and had a distinctive smell about him.&nbsp; I guess you could tell he was a farmer as he was covered in mud and debris and had this Great Depression look about him.&nbsp; Just from looking at him you could tell that life had not been kind to him and he worked for everything he ever got during his life.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; The type of gentlemen that kept his money under his bed or buried somewhere in the woods.&nbsp; He brought in some ASE&#039;s that were wrapped in Littleton plastic cellophane wrappers.&nbsp; He also had regular 90% dimes, quarters, half dollars all wrapped individually in cellophane that I did not take pictures of.&nbsp; My LCS asked him how much he paid for this average-looking ASE&#039;s and junk silver; I was SHOCKED!!! to hear that he paid $49.99 for each ASE and paid $8 - dime, $17 - quarter, and $22 - half dollar!!!&nbsp; Littleton Co. had sent their catalog&#039;s via the mail to them and his mother over the years.</p><p>Both the LCD and I looked at each other and were in shock.&nbsp; My coin dealer told the man he charged $21 for a 2015 ASE and a lot cheaper for the 90% silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; I will never forget the look on the man&#039;s face.&nbsp; He knew he was ripped off and a sadness covered his face.&nbsp; My LCD gave him a VERY good deal to try to make a wrong right; but the man was very proud and insisted to treat him and pay him like any other customer (My LCD still gave a great deal for his coins).&nbsp; I watched him as he went back to his car and told his wife and she was clearly upset.&nbsp; They both left and we discussed how they were the victims of pure GREED.&nbsp; I often wonder to myself how these people go to sleep at night. I know that this happens everyday and the elderly always get targeted the most; but I just think it is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!! I firmly believe in Karma and GOD don&#039;t like ugly.&nbsp; I just wanted to share this with you guys.&nbsp; Thanks for listening.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]544467[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]544463[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]544460[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]544462[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
