<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chip, post: 1044821, member: 19122&quot;]When I was first researching coins there was an online ask the coin man column, with hundreds of archives, I went through that whole thing, trying to soak up as much information as I could, one person told a story of getting an old coin as part of an inheritance, they took it to a coin dealer who told them it would be to their advantage to submit the coin to a tpg, the dealer was kind enough to offer to do so. And then to have the coin shipped to their house, the coin came back as ungradable, the person swore that the coin was not the one they submitted, they called the police, the police could do nothing, the advice given was similar to the advice given here, to submit the dispute to the ana.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I know how it is when someone gets the coin fever, sometimes they will cross the line because they covet the coin so much. </p><p><br /></p><p>When people feel they have no recourse often they will become desperate and make matters worse for themselves. </p><p><br /></p><p>It may be that dealer did rip you off, it may be that he gets away with it and will do it again, but please do not take the law into your own hands and attempt to get justice. </p><p><br /></p><p>There have been lots of stories about such things, a florida coin clubs senior members were accused of stealing from the newer members, selling them cleaned and damaged coins at a premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wish that all people had been given a strict sense of ethics and morals, but unfortunately many people today would rather have a ham sandwich than ethics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
