<p>[QUOTE="greglax45, post: 341854, member: 10203"]Being a YN, I had a rough dealer at the Baltimore Coin Show last fall. This lady lured my brother and I into some bargain bin, saying that since we were YN's, we could get a "Buy 1 get 1 free deal". Unfortunately that was not the case. Once we picked out the coins for our books, we told that guy working the table (the lady was long gone) that these were two for one. The guy working the table did not comply with that deal, so we were lured into a supposed deal, when we couldv'e gotten the same coins somewhere else. We ended up buying the coins anyway, but it still sticks to me today that there are rude people in this coin collecting community, scamming adolescents out of their tenuous supply of cash. I have learned from my mistakes, but i do believe we Young numismatists do not get the respect we deserve, because of stereotypical remarks about us.
