I remember him showing me a beautiful rainbow toned peace dollar and asking me if I wanted to buy it.. was a high grade 22' I think... I figured what the heck.. sure, 20% below retail, right ? Nope, he wanted 125 for it back in 86' if I remember correctly.. the 20% below redbook did not apply. I said no thanks... he said, ok, "I'll put it back into it's envelope and place it back on the window seal"...I had no clue what that meant and wondered why he stored it like that...... wish I had ponied up back then.. dang it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
