They were literally stacked like a quarter roll.&nbsp; Was this just some sort of show to make me feel like my coin was insignificant - to make me feel better about the sale?&nbsp; The guy and his staff seemed trustworthy and my intuition told me they were okay folks despite the fact that they wouldn&#039;t talk to me about what they would sell it for.&nbsp; But I just don&#039;t know for sure.&nbsp; I&#039;m moving on, just thought I would share here how it ended.&nbsp; </font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
