<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 466512, member: 13650"]You're exactly correct. It should not be that hard for any collector to at least catalog the so called "special coins" for whoever will be getting the collection. I started early and have everything cataloged and enter stuff as I go now. So it's very easy for me. In this day and age, to just tell a kid that a coin is special and leave it at that is quite foolish. The kid probably deserved to get ripped off, like everybody else.</p><p> </p><p> That being said, key words being, "like everybody else." You shouldn't feel a bit bad for giving the kid a quick education. But you should have kept a little more quiet and discreet. That way you could have avoided the whole mess. This is a good lesson. That coin shop is probably ripping off several people every day. So one got away. So what? I'd feel good about it. It's not like they're there to do you any favors.</p><p> </p><p> Plus, maybe the kid will eventually become a collector. I collected baseball cards too for a while.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
