[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2164960, member: 71510"]I believe all of these protections and theoretical rules of engagement are dumbing down society, and leading people to believe that some mythical "nanny government" idea should protect them from themselves. I believe in recourse and justice. If someone intentionally defrauds (fake slabs, etc) then you should seek justice. But I also believe in personal responsibility and due diligence. When you have every opportunity to review, grade, test and validate a coin - there really should be no excuse. If it's too good to be true, it probably is. So many of the bad deals start out with excessive greed on one - or both sides. Someone thinking they're getting a steal, and the other knowing he's going to cash in. If the same guy bought "junk cull coins" for melt price and ended up with a giant lot of 1889-CC's - would he be required to give them back to the poor ignorant seller? Would you? I dunno, maybe I'm just old fashioned. Where men were men, and criminals were dealt with permanently.[/QUOTE]
