The reality is that while you may not, some people do steal when given the opportunity, so it's only fair to look at the big picture, especially when talking about easily pocketable merchandise. On the other hand, if low-dollar material and the man is not busy, and you're not someone who wants to spend hours digging through his inventory searching for that great pick (and will walk away without spending a dime if you don't get it), you have a very valid point. Most dealers are not able, off the top of their heads, to remember every single coin in their inventory, so taking a few seconds to double check isn't unreasonable, and refamiliarizing with a coin before offering it to a customer isn't always a bad thing, especially since potential buyers are apt to spend much more time doing the same.[/QUOTE]
