SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/29/2015 3:32 pm I'm proud and happy to be a hater in this case, and that goes equally for someone who knowingly gives only face for silver. Maybe you can live with it, but I couldn't face the guy in the mirror after something like that. Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe he cut this guys grass or shoveled his driveway year after year for him? Like I said, we need to know more about the circumstances before judging. This recipient may have been by the giver's side when they were unemployed or fighting cancer. It could be payback for the time they helped move in, paint the house, or build a garage. Maybe they are just good friends. Or maybe the recipient is just a dirty rotten scoundrel. Details are important.

Coincollector110 Pillar of the Community United States 818 Posts	Posted 05/29/2015 4:55 pm I don't want to reveal too much about the recipient out of respect, but I'll say that he's younger than me, and I'm still in school, so this guy didn't do anything to help the neighbor. He just asked him and got the coins without paying face value. I'm careful about showing my coins to him, since this is the same guy I mentioned earlier who must be desperate for coins, as he was scammed twice on a clad half and a 1957 quarter by paying a ridiculous sum for them.

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 05/29/2015 5:12 pm ... A touch off subject but it jives... With my massive S&O inherited collection I can keep whatever I like technically but I want so much that is of substantial value that I will be keeping some for my effort of cataloging and selling and the rest I want I will asses a fair market value and pay the estate fairly. Especially since his widow (my step grandmother) is on social security. She keeps telling me to keep everything but I don't think she realizes the value. I gave her $1k last week and she almost fainted then tried to give me a few hundred back for my effort, lol. Point is, if you dont know the circumstances don't guess. & older people (if the neighbor was which is more than likely) love to give their stuff away especially at if they feel they are down to a few years or less... but there I go guessing about the circumstances Report this Post to the Staff
Classic Coins Pillar of the Community United States 940 Posts	Posted 05/29/2015 6:05 pm I would have offered the neighbor something - at least face value - for the coins. After all, would the neighbor offer the same face value in modern, non-collectible currency without anything in return? Report this Post to the Staff
