<p>[QUOTE="Silverhouse, post: 1117730, member: 29452"]I'm not saying these coins are not worth anything. All I am saying is I have seen people buy these expecting big returns. I suppose in the end it is their own fault they did not do the research. But this brings me to what I witnessed at the coin shop today. I was in purchasing a silver eagle when an elderly lady walked in with about 30 ike clad dollars and about 50 peace dollars! she said are these worth anything? i looked at the 2 coin reps behind the counter and before I could get one word out, one guy told her the clads weren't worth anything, which is true, however on the peace dollars he told her they were only worth a dollar. She said/asked " i suppose these old peace dollars are only worth a buck? the bank won't take these and I don't suppose no store would. I started to say.. Exuse me but the silver in your peace dollars..." both reps shot me the evil eye and again the one rep said your peace dollars are only worth a buck, but it does have 40% silver. so basically they paid face value for some great peace dollars and in my opinion were very dishonest about the real value and what she could have gotten for the peace dollars.. they didn't even offer her the info on spot melt prices nor offer to buy them for that or below.... I walked out and sat in my car and told my fiance what just had occured....I while having a cigarette the one rep who told her the peace dollars werent worth anything came out of the store and gave me the evil eye again as he walked by. I would have offered her a better deal than that!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
