I Kind Of Lost My Love For Collecting Coins. ..

As the title said I lost my love and want to collect coins..

Many many months ago I was asked to help a lady go through her silver bullion.. she had the regular stuff, 1 oz silver rounds with different characters on them and 5 oz coins with the statue of liberty and stuff and she had a few small gold pieces like $1-$10 and a few pieces of jewelry made from coins. And then a couple of bags of American silver from dimes to dollars... she bought alot of this silver when it was high she said around $40-$50 a oz is what she had told me... silver was around 21-22 a ounce at this time and she wanted to sell. . Well I shared my knowledge I had learned here about consecutive bars or bullion and certain numbers people would be willing to pay for.. so she asked me if I would help her and that she'd pay me for my time.. I said sure knowledge is free I have no problems helping... we'll while we sorted she asked me what it costs to list stuff on ebay and how to ship and everything.. so I explained it all I showed her on my smartphone that it was simple to run and she could do it herself with a little time and effort... well after 6 hours of sitting and going through all this stuff she asked me what I thought and I told her what I believed it would go for.. In total we counted something like 200 oz ingots and rounds and sorted through all the silver with over 250.00 face value..... I figured she had maybe 10-15 considering $2-$3 fave silver fetches 50+.. she scoffed and did she'd be losing money that she had more Into than that.. I helped her all day spent my Saturday helping her go through these coins for the love of the coins and the hunt..

She asked me if I wanted to list everything on ebay for her and what I would want to help her with this and getting it shipped and pretty much doing everything but holding the merchandise.. I mean not not a bad gig if I do t have to be responsible for the storage of the items,right? So I thought a few days and said that I'd like 250 a week and 10% of the sale price.. I didn't want want to low ball myself right out of the gate so I shot kind of high... well she she said she said she'd get back to me and asked me to come by thurs.. so I came by thurs and she says oh I don't have time I have to run to the bank can you come Sat. So I called her sat and she said nevermind.. we'll then I get a call Monday morning saying she's missing some stuff and she hopes she finds it... now mind you her shop had been cleaned with outside help and I haven't been there in a week.. so in asked her if she went over the tapes so for her system and she said she was going to.. I asked her tot give me a call when she went through it so we could talk about what's missing... well she calls me 30 mins later and tells me she has me on camera pocketing her silver... I was floored! This lady owned a pawn shop and helped me and my family out and she hugged my kids and was concerned when my wofe was in Guam and NKorea was threatening to bomb there.. I mean I considered us friends and that's not not a term I use lightly because I know what an aquatance is.... I asked her if I could see the tapes.. she told me I needed needed to have all my items I had in lawn out of pawn by the first of the month which was like over $600.00 and she said I could come by tues and see the tape.. so I callher tues and head down to see the tape.. I walk in and there's this lady sitting there avg lady 30-40 age range with pawn tickets in front of her.. so I come in and stand out of the way and she looks at me and says I'm only for a give you once chance to make this right. I told her I want to see to see the tape and I want to know what I'm accused of stealing.. she said the police had the video recording of it and would be contacting me.. unless I was willing to make it right, so I asked what am I supposed I supposed to do make it right if I didn't do anything wrong in the first place? She said she wasn't going to argue and asked that I have all my own tickets squared away on the first.. I left with a feeling like I just got kicked by that jerk in high school that everyone disliked but thought he was funny... I mean yrs I've worked worked and dealt with her and now I'm being accused of stealing when I pride myself on being being a upstanding gentleman and roll model for my 2 young sons... so I called the pawn shop division and asked if there was a open case with my name in it.. so I gave the detectives my head to toe vitals and asked him to give me a call when he finds out one way or another... no call backs so I called and after a week and 3 detectives there is no open case for theft against me, as far as a they knew I am who my jacket says I am.. so I explained what happened and they say there's nothing they can do about it since she didn't as actually file a police report...

I filed a report against her for extortion.. she knew I couldn't afford to get all my stuff out of pawn so she would end up with some of the gold.. well the cop took the report but under hawaii law extortion doesn't mean extortion its more of learn from this experience and never go into business or cahoots with a islander, and that came from the cops mouth... my feelings have been hurt and when I look at coins I just get a sick feeling in my stomach... I bought my first piece of graded gold a few months ago and I didn't feel like it held the significance that it should have if this hadn't had happened.... what can I do to get my boyish collecting "wind" again? Thanks for listening... PEACE...
