<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1329156, member: 26302&quot;]I will admit I am not sure. I testified in court, but was not there to see if convicted of the sentence if convicted. I was chosen to be involved because the cops asked the dealer I hung around to help, and I was in the store when they came in and I volunteered. </p><p><br /></p><p>If it makes you feel better, two of the three pulled out a redbook looking through my coins, but of course would not let me see. All three of them spent most of their time studying the 93s. I sleep well at night because I firmly believe they knew the value of the coin full well.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hear what you are saying, and if it were an esoteric item I would agree. However, I think you would agree that on the other end of the spectrum that there ARE salesmen intentionally ripping off uninformed non collectors. I am all for open free markets, but if someone who doesn&#039;t know coins comes to a professional dealer asking value, the dealer should not legally be allowed to tell them a $600 coin, (that he KNOWS is a $600 coin), that its worth $12. That is why, if a dealer simply says &quot;I will pay you $12&quot;, he is not lying to you, maybe he doesn&#039;t know its a rare date, but he will buy it for melt or something. There is no perfect answer, but just relaying the laws in Iowa and my experience. </p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
