<p>[QUOTE="abuckmaster147, post: 2073483, member: 27527"]Several On My End, I tried to help a gal out that was selling her dads coin collection she inherited, She sent me picks And alot of the items had #'s on them so she decided it was what her dad thought they were worth, We came up about one Hundred dollars dif in price between what I knew I could get out of them, I buckled when she told me she had 2 small kids to feed and was on her own and I gave her her asking price. Well not by her fault but a lot of the coins were not silver like I thought and a few high dollar ones were fake, Like I said she did not know.</p><p> Then there was me working in the tri state area and only coming home maybe once a week when I was young I had my coin collection put away in my Moms china cabinet in a silver clam shell dish, Well she decided to take a few teenagers under her wing and try to help them out by feeding them and letting them hang out they lived a few houses up the road in deplorable conditions Well a year or so goes by and I went to get my coin collection to show someone and you guessed it it was gone, It still gives me a stomach ache even 30 year later now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
