<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JimsOkay, post: 24652714, member: 119563&quot;]When I was maybe thirteen in the late sixties I used to ride my bike five miles to the only coin store. This little old widow ran it by herself after her husband passed away. She was very kind to me, not deal wise, but no problem helping me with my pitiful Lincolns collection and she let me look at anything I wanted to for as long as I wanted. I think she enjoyed the company being she was the only employee.</p><p><br /></p><p>One time I asked a kid I knew if he wanted to bike over to the shop and see it. We get there and she was sweet as always getting out anything I wanted to see and putting it all on the counter for us to look at. The kid with me (notice I didn’t say friend) are looking at all these silver half dollars as she said she had to take care of something in the back office. I thought nothing of it, but the kid with me saw an opportunity to steal while she wasn’t in front of us. I was mortified that he even had that thought! Yelling at him under my breath I made darn sure that he didn’t go through with it!&nbsp; I still can’t believe someone would steal from an old lady and without hesitation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously I had earned her trust enough for her to leave a ton of coins out on the counter while she went out of sight. Never entered my mind to steal something. Not in my DNA.</p><p><br /></p><p>First and only time I brought anyone with me to the coin store.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
