Here is mine,  A few years back when I was taking my first steps as being a coin dealer I had put some adverts in the paper and I got a call from a man who said he had some old US dollars from his grandfather.  I asked the typical questions - years, types ect ( saying he had a few ).  We agreed to meet at his house that was about a two hour drive " I was much more enthusiastic then" and when I came in to his house there were about 300 fake silver dollars on a table.  I took one up and told him that these were fakes and for the life of him he did not belive me.  Called me a fool and they looked quite real to him.  After I explained to him as much as I could I saw a piece that had a thin layer of silver loose.  So I took it up and peeleed half of the coin off and the look on his face was amazing.  That spil second he said to him self "well self s*****". Not his grandfathers but bought in Thailand days before - had seen one sell for loads on the internet as he said it.[/QUOTE]
