[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 5253077, member: 105098"]wait wait wait wait wait.... you walked into a LCS, with "a. gold-plated 1 oz copper bar and b. nickel-plated brass." and some casino tokens, then you expected them to Take your gold coins seriously or even your silver??? You are lucky they bought the Peace Dollar for $1 under melt and would have probably gave you $75 for the quarters.had you wanted to sell those too for that. no way they are going for the gold knowing you walked in with gimmicky plated bars, at that point everything you walked in with is highly suspect as being a fake. "hi, I have this gold plated bus token, I'd like to sell it, and while I'm at it how about these other gold coins I have just laying around, swear those are real!?" "Yeah. Not interested today, don't feel like spending to time to verify it's genuine and it all checks out, take it to the crack dealers buddy!" LOL I am seriously not trying to be mean about it, maybe a poor attempt at comedy though, but that's the reality, You went in there looking sketchy to begin with, with what you were looking to sell, and they treated you as sketchy, Next time, make sure what you are selling is real, and stick to an only gold or only silver transaction per visit of stuff you know for a fact is real. the moment the bar is plated and he knows it, everything is plated as far as they are concerned and they are only buying if it's a great deal for them and they really think it's going to be legit.... and not stolen.[/QUOTE]
