<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2164762, member: 26302&quot;]To me, it all goes back to a differentiation that should be made. If I walk into a coin store or coin show, the assumption should be made I am a &quot;coin collector&quot; and should be responsible for knowing how to grade, market prices, etc. In that instance, the dealer should have much less responsibility for my purchase decision. However, anyone cold calling should be held to a much higher degree of professionalism, in that they are the acknowledged experts and we can assume the cold called clients lack any coin specific knowledge.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If we made such a differentiation, then dealers who sell cleaned AU morgans as basement slabbed MS66&#039;s to cold call victims would be committing a felony of theft. That same coin, sold to a collector walking into a shop would be fine since we would presume the collector should know better.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is the best solution I can think of, to protect &quot;little old ladies&quot; from these thieving fraudsters everyone in the hobby hate, while leaving the rest of the hobby alone. It makes sense, and is implementable, and will solve a lot of problems, which are all reasons I am sure it will never be implemented by our politicians.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
