Fake Silver Dollars

yea it was a steal
ahh that should never have happened come on how expensive is a magnet apparently not having one very expensive!

I don't think anyone ever deserves to be taken. The owner always has the choice to either take the offer or walk away. A business like a pawn shop has to make money, they usually offer less than half of what a item is worth so they can sell it for 75% of its real value. The other report like this that was a few months ago wasn't bought as collector coins, they were bought as bullion and they didn't even check the dates as far as I can remember so saying they deserve to be taken is not the way I see it. The 20% they offered was probably a pretty good bit over half of bullion value if they had been real which is what they were bought as. It would be like buying a roll of Lincoln wheat cents for copper value and then find there is a 1909-S VDB in there, doesn't mean you should be strung up in the heart of the city because you purchased them as one thing and then later found out there was added value in the items you purchased. Pawn shops are not coin dealers where they buy and sell collectibles constantly, they usually have to look items up to see what they are worth and that is usually after they have already purchased them. They are never going to know what a valuable coin is worth unless there is someone working that that is a collector because at most pawn shops coins/bullion is less than .5 percent of their actual business. Most coins they get are sent in to either dealers or smelters for their bullion value no matter what the date unless they happen to do research after they purchased the items and see there is one that is collectible or something but I bet most of the time if they buy as bullion they get sold as bullion to the smelters

Parkquarters, do you live around Gadsden? If so, do you know of any coin stores in that area? I live around the boaz area.
