 And it's not just about trust, but letting other collectors enjoy your find with you and perhaps learn something from it. For instance, whenever anyone posts a pic of a genuine rare coin, that goes a long way in helping others discern details on that coin to discover one for themselves--and hopefully avoid outright fakes. Good information has a way of sending positive ripples through the collector community. |

Alright 1sikevo ... now you have me a bit concerned. You and I are doing some business in the "for sale" section for some Walkers. I'm just waiting for some pics ...
Pics have been sent last night. Did you get them ? |

My local dealer sells low grade U.S. silver coins for about 13-14x the face value.

One other thing - even if this story is real - 'dumb' thieves have been known to blow out stolen collections at someones 'yard sale' or flea markets. I have read numerous stories about such events. Everyone knows about 'Littleton', so it would not take a genius to make up such a story in order to move these. Any logical truthful individual who was trully associated to the hobby would never rip themselve off - unless these are hot. Too much exposure to take them to a dealer. One other possibility - albeit remote- the guy inherited them - from someone who DID work for Littleton, and is trully a dumb dumb... He is rretelling a story about them and ws too lazy or uneducated to check them out - and the price he asked is an old price from some time ago. I have runinto old timers selling nice coins at 'old ' prices - and I have told them to go get a new RedBook and reevaluate before they lose a lot of money ! If this is real - I would personally let the cops know about it - if this was your collection that got stolen - wouldn't you hope that if someone got them cheap at a yard sale - they'd be decent enough to check if such a collection had been stolen ? I would - there is no joy in getting hot coins at a great price. |

honestly... I would have a really hard time giving the coins up if I acquired them like that.
Just being realistic

Obviously this story is a lie.
A very pathetic attempt, unless It was an April Fools Joke! And if so you did an extremely good job at fooling everyone.
