I went to an antique shop today.
They wanted to show me an "INDIAN HEAD SILVER DOLLAR"
it was in a bezel and on a small silver chain.
asking price. $49
I asked to examine the dollar as I had not heard of an Indian head Silver dollar. And wanted to see the year etc.
They picked it up and handed it to me - no care taken to protect the coin in question.
Once I flipped it over the reverse said one ounce silver .999
I told the clerk this was not a Silver dollar but a bullion piece.
He said I must be mistake the owner was a gemologist and he would know.
I said nice but I'm a numismatologist.
I may collect from the darkside,
but it does not mean I am that dumb - watch the replies.
how many people are out there trying to sell items in ignorance.
