A local youth saved every cent he could muster, his goal a new Corvette sports car.
He asked a salesman if he could take a test drive. The salesman let him in the passenger seat. Hopped in, and put it through the paces.
They got back to the dealership, the salesman got out and opened the passenger door, and asked "How'd you like it?"
"Fine, I'll take it," reached into his casual clothes, and counted out stacks of cash on the hood.
As I said earlier, nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
You have to remember, near opening and closing are prime times for coin shop robberies, and it's the dealer's/employee's responsibility to be on the alert. This doesn't require rudeness, tho. |

 , 1inamillion15!
Double fault, no wins.
On the Interwebs, you are who you appear to be.
If "15" is your age, you need to read my comments in another recent YN thread. |

So for me if someone is under 18, I would consider them a YN and not want
to do any sort of selling or trading with them.
This has happened to me time and time again, I hate it when people that are older than me say its not okay to deal with me. its really unfair
The law, nationwide I think, involves the ability to contract, usually at 18.
Youth (Y) sells a hundred ounces of gold over a year or two. Price goes up $300 an oz. Y goes to the dealer, says "here's what you paid me, I want the gold back." Dealer is out $30,000, period. Very much possible real-life scenario.
The solution is a co-signer, typically a parent, who actually makes the transaction. The dealer can then go back on the co-signer for fraud, etc.
In practice, everyone trusts Y not to do something like that, and most Y know if they did, so one would deal with them later.
I'm assuming everyone here has heard of Q David Bowers. He had to get a co-signer the first time he wanted an ANA table.
Unfair? Not in the least. PITA? You betcha!
Not letting a six year old kid play bingo for cash prizes at a carnival? Kinda stupid. Brat loved playing bingo. |

Proofs (usually from sets):
1936-1964 Philly, no MM, mirror surface
1965-1967 SMS only, no MM, prooflike
1968-date, proof sets are generally S mint, mirror surface
1968-1974, S mint cents also made for circulation
1968-1970, S mint nickels also made for circulation
There have also been all sorts of SMS, silver proof sets, special sets, etc, which is why I recommend getting the Redbook and reading it. Yes it's boring. Homework is supposed to be boring. It was boring in 1964, too. |

It makes for an excellent spammer-catcher, since neither the spambots nor the poor-English-skills spammers seem to know that "Shanghai, Canada, USA" is a nonsense city-state-country address.
A recent group of 55,000 college educated engineering students in India were asked:
"If only 20 single bananas are placed in a paper bag and Ahmed pulls one fruit without looking, what is the probability that he will pull a banana?"
Which is worse:
- That there should be such a question
- That we are outsourcing tech support to these people
- I don't know, we always used apples
- That 35% of the students got the wrong answer

I'm not talking about street addresses in location, but at the posters' options, could we have more more info than
Coincollector
North America
At least country, perhaps even state or city (I don't think SF, NYC or Chicago will set anyone up for a hit on his bag of wheat cents).
Just a more friendly group.
