[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 322441, member: 112"]Fair enough. Now let's take it one step further. The dealer claims that it is an unwritten rule between coin dealers that when stolen coins are confiscated by the police from one dealer and returned to the rightful owner, that the rightful owner pay the dealer in full for his loss as a result of buying stolen coins unknowingly. And because of that unwritten rule, that I a collector should pay him as well. So anyway, feeling somewhat like you do and just not feeling that it's right for the dealer to take this loss, he didn't do anything wrong after all, I walked into his shop one with a box of coins for him. He wasn't there at the time so I just left the coins with the staff along with an explanation as to what they were for. No, they were not the same coins that were taken from him, but they were worth just as much if not more. Later, the dealer tells me he does not want these coins - he wants the same coins that were confiscated from him or to be paid in cash the same amount he was out. Now what do you do ?[/QUOTE]
