Dealers are like snowflakes.. everyone is different. Keep in mind that for most this is a business and not a passion or hobby. If that dealer took the time to put on gloves and handle each and every coin that walked into his shop with absolute care, he might as well close up shop. Your Morgans may have been very nice, but how nice? Premiums on common unc Morgans have evaporated fast and in many cases a dealer will have to look at such coins more for their silver value than any numismatic. If you have ever had someone bring you a bag/album/whatever full of coins expecting you to carefully examine each and every one, maybe his actions would make more sense. Its a business and time is money. If you take your car to a mechanic who is rough with it, do you keep quiet? Of course not, so why do just that with your coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
