<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JrCoin, post: 577752, member: 18390&quot;]You know, it wouldn&#039;t be beyond someone&#039;s capacity to purchase replica double eagles on fleabay, artificially &quot;doctor&quot; them and get their local cashier fired for cashing those in either.&nbsp; You can buy one for around $5...what a scam.&nbsp; Not that I would ever dream of doing it, except that I did kinda just come up with that didn&#039;t I?&nbsp; I&#039;m just saying, in theory, how do you authenticate something like that unless you ARE an experienced numismatic enthusiast?&nbsp; They are dumping out new gold toned dollars by the buckets these days and someone who doesn&#039;t know any better could get royally...you know.&nbsp; The cashier shouldn&#039;t have, but I can understand why.&nbsp; It&#039;s they kind of thing people like us dream about after all.&nbsp; Those coins, that&#039;s enough for a new car or whatever.&nbsp; Jackpot.&nbsp; I have no idea but I would say most tellers don&#039;t know or care about numismatics...they probably get sick of counting money.&nbsp; I doubt the bank manager is going around saying &quot;keep an eye out for little old ladies with double eagles...&quot;</p><p>I firmly believe that the educated numismatist should have the advantage in cash transactions over the layman.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t tell someone to save their wheat penny when they could give it to me.&nbsp; I know what it is and appreciate it.&nbsp; That cashier didn&#039;t subscribe to an ethics policy like a coin dealer would.&nbsp; She didn&#039;t ask him to appraise her coins.&nbsp; On the other hand, if someone did that to my mom I&#039;d skin the guy alive and then feed him to pigs.&nbsp; Huh.&nbsp; This one makes my head hurt.&nbsp; I&#039;d like to see those coins authenticated.&nbsp; :headbang:&nbsp; ugh! ugh! ugh![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
