<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinGal07, post: 385756, member: 8843&quot;]I&#039;m sure this has been addressed in some thread or another but I thought it may help some of our newbies as they venture into coin shows or shops.&nbsp; Basically similar to the things we warn about Ebay. So how about a list from those of use who&#039;ve spent time hanging out for long hours and witnessing some of the mistakes newbie sellers say to dealers.&nbsp; I&#039;ll start with a few that come to mind:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1) I have no idea what this is - I looked it up on the internet and couldn&#039;t find it.&nbsp; It was a gift from an elderly lady I used to take care of and she knew I liked coins.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - The item was a $25 proof platinum eagle 1998</p><p>2) I can&#039;t figure out what these are ... are they tokens? My dad gave them to me although we weren&#039;t very close.&nbsp; I looked on Ebay and couldn&#039;t find anything like it.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - The seller had a 4 coin 2002 gold eagle set</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3) Is this silver platter worth anything? I found it one day in a field looking for aluminum cans.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; - The platter was tiffany and was engraved to a lawyer as recognition for best argument.&nbsp; What did the guy think .. the dealer would believe the lawyer left it in the field from a picnic?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ok.. that&#039;s 3 ... some others w/show, shop experience want to wade in here with your fav &#039;don&#039;t say that&#039;?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
