<p>[QUOTE="offa the saxon, post: 24620764, member: 110289"]A few years ago I went to a coin fair with the sole intention of buying an English civil war Carlisle siege shilling, it was being sold by a particular dealer. I found him at the fair and asked him about the coin that was for sale and he looked me up and down and said “it’s well out of your price bracket” I was dressed in a football shirt and jeans and I have a quite strong Liverpool accent, he tried to poke fun at me for daring to want to buy the coin. I looked at him and pulled the wad of notes totalling £3500 from my pocket and said “this could have been yours but it’s obvious that you think I am not worthy of your coins” and in the vernacular I told him exactly where to stick his coin as I would find one elsewhere and would advise all my friends not to deal with him in future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
